144. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the shortage of plaster of paris which is required for medical purposes in hospitals; and what steps he is taking to overcome the present shortage.

Mr. Tomlinson

The available amount of plaster of paris and of other types of plaster is limited by the output of gypsum, and steps are being taken to increase the gypsum supplies.
