Mr. Marples
asked the Minister of Works if he can now state the number of bricks which will be wanted for the extra building involved in the £4,700 million defence programme.
Mr. G. Brown
I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him on 20th March, to which I have nothing to add.
Mr. Marples
As bricks have been scarce for housing purposes, and as the Government do not know what they want for defence purposes, on what basis do the Government say that there will be no interference with the housing programme?
Hon. Members
