HC Deb 19 April 1973 vol 855 c177W
Mr. Buchanan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that the supplies of timber, bricks and steel are sufficient for the construction industry in Scotland; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

No general shortages have been reported but, as is usual when there is an upsurge in demand, delivery periods for some materials have lengthened.
