HC Deb 17 February 1948 vol 447 c215W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Transport (1) how many lorries were used in January for transporting bricks from works producing Fletton bricks; and what was the total mileage covered;

(2) what was the allocation of petrol and oil during the month of January for the transport by road of bricks from works producing Fletton bricks.

Mr. Barnes

I am not in a position to give the information for which the hon. Member asks. Fletton bricks, which, I understand, are manufactured by five large and a number of small companies, are transported from the works in hauliers' vehicles and customers' vehicles as well as in vehicles operated by the manufacturers.
