§ 23. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is 532 aware of the shortage of mohair; and what steps are being taken to augment the supply.
Mr. H. WilsonI am informed that there is no shortage of mohair, and, consequently, the second part of the Question does not arise.
§ Mr. FreemanIf I send my right hon. Friend details of a case in Newport in which perambulators for babies have been held up for three months for want of this material, will he look into this case?
Mr. WilsonYes, I shall certainly be prepared to look into it, but I am informed by the trade that they do not consider mohair is in short supply.
