HC Deb 29 May 1941 vol 371 c1997
78. Mr. Denville

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether in view of the dearth of glass and pottery in New castle, he will consider raising the quota?

Captain Waterhouse

I am not aware of a dearth of glass and pottery in Newcastle, but fresh supplies will be released after 1st June, when a new quota period begins. I, therefore, see no reason for increasing the quota.
