HC Deb 01 May 1951 vol 487 cc132-3W
100. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Works what quantity of bricks he proposes to request the brick industry to produce this year; and how this quantity compares with that produced last year.

Mr. G. Brown

I have already asked the industry to raise its annual production to a rate of 7.4 thousand million as soon as possible. The production last year was approximately 6.0 thousand million.
