§ 100. Mr. Nabarroasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will state the nature of the arrangements made by his Department for priority supply by the London Brick Company of land drainage pipes; what agreement has been entered into; when it will expire; and on what date private agricultural contractors may resume purchase of land drainage pipes from the London Brick Company.
148W
§ Mr. NugentThere is no arrangement with this company for priority supply. Each quarter, the Ministry gives the company advance notice of the numbers of the different sizes of pipes it wishes to buy on behalf of county agricultural executive committees, and the committees then put in their orders direct. I see no reason for discontinuing this arrangement.
