§ 7. Mr. Kirkasked the Minister of Public Building and Works how many brick kilns which were in production at the end of 1964 are no longer in production.
§ Mr. PrenticeNo figures are available of the number of kilns, but 68 brick works had ceased production between the end of 1964 and the end of April, 1967. It is normal in this industry for old works to be closing down (and new to be opened) as, for example, deposits of clay are worked out, and the pattern of demand changes.
