asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the shortage of cement is holding up work on housing sites in the Borough of Crosby, Lancashire; and what action he is taking to improve the supply position.

Mr. Key

I have been informed of one contractor whose work has been held up and arrangements have been made with the cement distributors for additional deliveries to be made to him.

Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Works what steps he is taking to improve the supply of cement on Merseyside.
