131. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Supply what was the delivery period for cast-iron pipes for water mains in July, 1951, and October, 1951; and whether any firm dates for delivery can be offered in the future.

Mr. Low

The delivery period for orders placed in both July and October this year was between 18 months and two years. Makers adhere as far as possible to the delivery dates promised when the order is received.
