HC Deb 04 June 1942 vol 380 cc813-4
65. Mr. David Adams

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to restrict the supply of electrical apparatus for installation in private houses for such purposes as immersion heaters, radiators, etc., when these may be used only intermittently in lieu of coal fires?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Captain Waterhouse)

The supply by manufacturers and wholesalers of electric space-heating appliances of the kind used for domestic purposes has been restricted from 1st June under the Limitation of Supplies (Heating Apparatus and Polishes) Order, 1942. I am satisfied that there are sufficient appliances available for all necessary domestic uses.

Mr. Adams

Where these are still available is it in order to purchase them?

Captain Waterhouse

Yes, Sir.
