§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Minister of Reconstruction whether, with a view to encouraging the production of bricks from brick kilns that have been closed during the war, and guaranteed price of briefs has been fixed; and, if so, whether he ran state what that price is?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI have been asked to answer this question. No guaranteed price for building bricks has yet been fixed, though maximum selling prices are fixed for districts and in certain cases for individual brick-yards. The conditions of brick-yards throughout the country are being investigated, and arrangements are being made by the Ministry of Munitions to place orders as widely as possible at agreed prices, in order to stimulate production.
