HC Deb 22 July 1946 vol 425 c1649
4. Mr. Prescott

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed further to reduce the allocation of linseed oil to the linoleum industry after the present month.

Sir S. Cripps

The allocation of linseed oil to the linoleum industry in August will be maintained at the current rate. Future allocations will be determined in the light of the latest information about the supply situation.

Mr. Prescott

Can the right hon. and learned Gentleman say whether it will be possible to increase the allocation for September?

Sir S. Cripps

I cannot possibly say until we know the supply situation.
