HC Deb 30 June 1947 vol 439 c101W
Mr. Baker White

asked the Minister of Works if his attention has been called to the acute shortage of cement in the Herne Bay area; whether he is aware that this shortage is likely to bring the local authority's housing programme to a standstill within the course of a few days; that such a situation might result in a dispersal of the labour force; and whether he will take urgent action to make a supply of cement available to the local authority.

Mr. Key

Yes. I am seeing what can be done to give assistance in this case.
