Mrs. Butlerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what reply he has sent to the letter from the Wood Green branch of the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers asking him to take urgent measures to end the present shortage of bricks, which is causing unemployment among workers engaged on local authority housing and causing delay in the provision of homes for those in urgent housing need.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI shall be replying shortly, and will send the hon. Member a copy.
