§ Mr. W. THORNEasked the Minister of Health to what extent the export of cement from this country is causing a shortage of that material on building jobs at present proceeding; and whether he is prepared to place an embargo on the export of cement at the present time?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have been in communication with the manufacturers and I hope that the arrangements made will be adequate to secure a suffieient supply of cement for housing schemes and thus obviate the necessity for restricting export.
