HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 c410W
49. Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will introduce measures to assist the brickwork industry.

Mr. Freeson

The building brick industry has benefited from the priority which the Government have given to housing. The figures for new house building in Great Britain for 1975 show an encouraging improvement on 1974 in both the public and private sectors.
