HC Deb 06 July 1943 vol 390 cc1941-2
70. Mrs. Adamson

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is able to make a further statement about the supply of perambulators?

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir. I am glad to say that I have now arranged for an increase in materials sufficient to raise the annual rate of production of perambulators and push chairs, as compared with last year, by more than 30 per cent. It will, of course, be some months before these additional supplies reach the shops, and it is important that full use should continue to be made of second-hand perambulators.

Mrs. Adamson

Is my right hon. Friend aware that he has earned the gratitude of the mothers of this country by his policy?
