HC Deb 14 May 1946 vol 422 cc178-9W
108. Mr. G. Wallace

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the misunderstanding that has arisen amongst builders' merchants over the scheme for priority allocation of building materials; and if he will take immediate steps to clarify the position.

Mr. Tomlinson:

I am not aware of any general misunderstanding by builders' merchants of the scheme for the priority allocation of building materials. It was too much to hope that the launching of this scheme would be free from initial difficulties, but steps are being taken to overcome them.
