§ 118. Mr. J. Lewisasked the Minister of Works if he will issue a regulation making it compulsory for distributors of building materials to make a periodical return to his Department of the stocks which they hold.
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo, Sir. My regional materials officers maintain close touch with the distributors of building materials, and possess in my opinion a more accurate and up-to-date knowledge of stocks than returns could give.
