HC Deb 13 July 1954 vol 530 c15W
58. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Works what steps he is taking to ensure the expansion of the British cement industry, in view of the annual recurring shortage, particularly in South Wales.

Sir D. Eccles

The output of cement has grown steadily since the war and is still expanding. Among the new works or extensions now under construction one at Westbury, Wiltshire, should greatly ease the problem of supplying demands in the South-West and in Wales.
