HC Deb 23 February 1970 vol 796 c263W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what assistance his Department has given in the development of the Jumbo brick as a possible replacement for the clay brick; and from what sources is the fly ash used in its manufacture expected to come.

Mr. Loughlin

Some years ago the Building Research Station undertook work for the electricity authorities on the development of uses for pulverized fuel ash from coal-burning power stations. The methods developed for using raw or sintered fly ash in lightweight concrete blocks are now in general use.
