§ Mr. KeyNo. I am, however, aware that cement shortages have caused difficulties and efforts have been made to increase supplies. If the hon. Member will give details of shortages of the materials for which my Department is responsible, and which are drawn from this country, I will see if it is possible to increase supplies.
