HC Deb 03 November 1919 vol 120 c1154W
Commander O. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that in the large brick-manufacturing district of Fletton, Peterborough, millions of bricks are available for use; whether they are being stacked there because of the almost total absence of transport facilities; and whether, as a result, essential material for urgent housing schemes is being held up?

Sir E. GEDDES

The provision of wagons for the transport of bricks from Fletton, Peterborough, is engaging the attention of the Ministry of Transport, and the railway companies are doing everything in their power to allocate to this traffic a fair share of the wagons available.
