§ 76. Mr. Byersasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the Windhill Brick Works, Wakefield, and other brick works, have now closed down owing to the fact that they cannot dispose of, the bricks already in stock; and what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the bricks produced are used for the building of houses as quickly as possible.
§ Mr. KeyYes. There is no immediate shortage of bricks for house building or other purposes in the Wakefield area, but there is a large prospective demand and I should expect this firm and others to be able shortly to dispose of all the bricks they can manufacture.
