6. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will make a statement about the shortage of plasterboard for the building industry.

Mr. Boyden

The manufacturers are expanding capacity by 50 per cent. in the next two years. New plant began production in February and further expansion is expected in July. The present difficulties should ease progressively.
