§ 26. Mr. Corfieldasked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the estimated output of sand and gravel likely to be available over the next five years in each administrative county from deposits which have either been earmarked for extraction in current 176W development plans, or for which planning permission has already been given; and in each case what additional output is likely to be required to meet the demands of the construction industries over the same period.
§ Mr. C. PannellI regret that I cannot provide the information in the form requested. I will publish later this year a broad estimate of future demand to supersede the results of the last survey which were published in 1961. I am satisfied that output of sand and gravel will in general match demand during the next five years.
