Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister for Public Building and Works if he will take steps to alleviate the serious delays caused to Salford Direct Labour Building Department by the brick shortage.

Mr. C. Pannell

I have already had discussions with the brickmakers about increasing substantially the total number of bricks produced. My regional officers at Manchester are in consultation with the Salford Direct Labour Building Department about the immediate problem there, and I will write to my hon. Friends when I know the outcome.
