HC Deb 30 October 1945 vol 415 cc353-4W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware of the situation arising in the brick and tile industry, especially in works now being re-opened, owing to the increasing shortage of kiln coal; and will he take steps to provide a larger supply.

Mr. Shinwell
