§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Minister of Health the increase per hundred which has been put on the price of bricks during the past six weeks; and whether the Government will institute an inquiry into the causes of the increase?
Mr. GREENWOODAs regards the first part of his question, perhaps I may refer my hon. Friend to the very full statement on brick prices included in yesterday's OFFICIAL REPORT in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Woolwich West (Sir K. Wood). The Committee appointed to survey the prices of building materials is at present making inquiries into the causes of the increases which have taken place. My right hon. Friend will then consider whether any further action must be taken.
