HC Deb 15 April 1946 vol 421 cc2321-2
7. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he will improve the quality of utility perambulators.

Mr. Belcher

There is no such thing as a utility perambulator. The manufacturers make perambulators to their own designs. I am not aware that the quality of perambulators now produced is unsatisfactory, but I will investigate any complaint of which the hon. Member will send me particulars.

Mr. Shepherd

Is the Minister aware that quite often people have to have two perambulators for one baby because of the unsatisfactory nature of the perambulators? If the Government want babies, will they provide transport for them?

Mr. Belcher

I was not aware of the information that the hon. Gentleman has given me, but I have had one perambulator for two babies.
