HC Deb 28 February 1921 vol 138 c1447W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the continued depression in the cement industry in Kent; that large numbers of men are being discharged; and, having regard to the world shortage of cement and its relation to the national building programme, will he make inquiries, as large numbers of men are affected?

Dr. ADDISON

I am not aware that a large number of men have been discharged. So far as housing schemes are concerned, supplies of cement are, generally speaking, satisfactory.
