Brick, Fireclay And Refractory Goods Industry

Mrs. Renée Short
asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is his policy regarding the proposals in the report on energy within the brick, fireclay and refractory goods industry.

Mr. Eadie
The Industrial Energy Thrift Scheme report on the bricks, fireclay and refractory goods industry, published by the Department of Industry, has been discussed with industry representatives

out at Norman Shaw, South; what is the completion date of the contract; when it will be completed; and what the final cost is estimated to be.

Mr. Marks
I understand that my hon. Friend is referring to the preparatory building work being carried out in readiness for the provision of permanent broadcasting facilities in Norman Shaw, South. This preliminary phase should be completed by Easter and is estimated to cost £30,000.
