§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Health whether sufficient supplies of glass are held in reserve for the repairs to windows of houses and shops damaged by enemy action?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI am not aware that any particular shortage of glass for repair work has yet been experienced in any locality, but the position is being closely watched. Local authorities have been told by circular to exercise economy in the use of glass in repairing windows in houses and the practice has been commended of reglazing only a portion of a damaged window, replacing the remainder with some other weatherproof material.
