§ 69. Mr. Turtonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the shortage of Ransome type and Cockshutt type ploughshares has persisted in the North Riding of Yorkshire continuously since the autumn; and if he will take steps to secure a more even distribution of the increased supplies.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsProduction of ploughshares is increasing steadily and the manufacturers have assured me that available supplies are distributed as evenly as possible. Special steps are being taken to meet certain shortages recently reported from the North Riding.
§ Mr. TurtonCan the Minister say, if there are, in fact, increased supplies of spare parts, and where these increased supplies have gone to?
§ Mr. WilliamsI understand that Messrs. Yates, of Malton, have recently been receiving some supplies.
