HC Deb 14 November 1949 vol 469 c177W
85. Mr. Haire

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that the delay in the supply of bricks in the High Wycombe area is 12 to 15 weeks; if he will state the reasons for this delay; and what steps he is taking to deal with it.

Mr. Key

The increase in the rate of production of bricks has not wholly kept pace with the higher level of demand during a year of exceptionally good building weather. I am not aware that the High Wycombe area is receiving less than its fair share and I expect an improvement in supplies.
