§ 84. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the shortage of land drainage tiles in North Lincolnshire, owing to the fact that firms previously manufacturing them have been switched over to the production of bricks; and what steps he is taking to ensure an adequate supply of these tiles.
§ Mr. Wilson:The output of land drain pipes has fallen, partly owing to increased brick production. I am not aware that any serious shortage has developed, and if any particular requirement is not being met and the hon. Member will let me have details, I will see that supplies arc made available.
