HC Deb 21 October 1946 vol 427 c1297
36. Colonel Wheatley

asked the Minister of Supply if he is aware of the difficulty in obtaining metal containers to hold solids from quarter cwt. to one or two cwt. capacity; and what he proposes to do to increase the supply.

Mr. Wilmot

This difficulty is due in the main to shortage of steel sheet. We are reviewing the allocation of steel sheet to see if deliveries can be improved.
