HC Deb 14 April 1970 vol 799 c198W
37. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what is the present size of the stockpile of bricks; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. John Silkin

At the end of February stocks of bricks were 1,090 million. I would expect the industry to benefit progressively from the measures announced by the Government to stimulate the house-building programme.
