HC Deb 05 July 1950 vol 477 c33W
Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that building work on municipal housing estates is being held up through shortages of cement and timber; and if he will take action to make supplies available.

Mr. Bevan

I have been asked to reply. No. Steps have been taken to make supplies of cement available for municipal housing estates in Stockton-on-Tees. If the Council experience difficulty over timber, they should consult my principal regional officer.
