HC Deb 15 December 1952 vol 509 c127W
92. Mr. Oliver

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware of the shortage of steel and cast-iron pipes which is retarding major projects of development of the East Midlands Gas Board; and whether he will make a statement on the position.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

Yes, but the difficulty is a general one and I hope that the position will shortly improve.
