<p>The Government is aware that some products including cement are in short supply
nationally. At present, supply of these products is not keeping pace with demand,
and strong demand during 2020 reduced existing stocks.</p><p> </p><p>In light of this,
the Construction Leadership Council’s Coronavirus Task Force has established a Product
Availability Working Group, comprised of product manufacturers, builders’ merchants
and suppliers, contractors of all sizes, and housebuilders. The Task Force continues
to monitor the supply and demand of products, and identify those in short supply.
The Task Force also issues regular statements on product availability. The statements
include detailed updates on the availability of specific products in affected material
areas in order to keep the market informed. They can be accessed at <a href="https://www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk/"
