§ Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Works whether, in view of the fact that the volume of brick construction in 1947 only reached 56 per cent. of pre-war capacity, he will appoint a committee of 92W inquiry to consider the short- and long-term effects on the industrial and social economy of the country of the development of non-traditional building.
§ Mr. KeyAll possible steps are already being taken to promote the use of bricks at the present time and I do not think it would serve any useful purpose to appoint a committee.
