HC Deb 15 October 1940 vol 365 c619W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that a large cement works in Northern Ireland has had to cease operations through lack of storage accommodation which, owing to Government control, is fully occupied; and whether he will give orders that the cement being held up shall be released to customers who need it?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

I am informed that the only cement works in Northern Ireland is still in production and that stocks amount to less than one-third of the storage capacity. The second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
