There was recently an overall shortage of cement, as hon. Members know. It was due largely to the fact that, owing to the severe winter and the fuel shortage, there was a falling off in production. Now, however, the production of cement has reached a very high level indeed, far exceeding what we produced during the war, but the pipeline was empty and some parts of the country suffered more than others. However, I am hoping that the whole situation will be remedied very shortly.
