HC Deb 13 December 1945 vol 417 c779W
Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Works why he will not allow a charge of less than1os. per 1,000 for hauling bricks no matter how short the distance.

Mr. Tomlinson

The lowest addition to the prices of bricks on account of haulage is 9s. per thousand in certain areas. The additions for haulage reflect a fair and reasonable charge and were settled in consultation with the industry. It is part of the price Control structure that the price of bricks ex works and on site should be separately controlled.
