HC Deb 14 June 1948 vol 452 c19W
Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that shortage of cement is holding up the construction of several factories in South Wales; and what steps he is taking to increase supplies.

Mr. Key

Complaints have been made that in some cases in South Wales there has been a shortfall in the deliveries of cement. My officers, in consultation with the Board of Trade, and with the cement manufacturers, are examining these cases in order to ensure adequate supplies to maintain the progress of the work.
