HC Deb 04 August 1947 vol 441 c109W
15. Mr. John E. Haire

asked the Minister of Works if he is satisfied that the supply of bricks is adequate to avoid the use of breeze blocks in new house building.

Mr. Key

The supply of bricks should be adequate to meet the needs of new house building given a sufficient supply of fuel for the brickworks. Clinker blocks of British Standard specification are, however, of particular value for the inner leaf of external walls and for partitions.
