HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 c289W
76. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Works if he is satisfied that existing arrangements for the supply of bricks and cement to Merseyside are adequate to maintain the existing rate of building.

Mr. Stokes

Yes, but I am expecting the rate of building to increase, and we are doing our best to encourage local brickworks to reopen, with the assurance that for many years to come the demand for bricks will be heavy.
