§ Sir W. Davisonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there has been no improvement in the 1394W shortage of wireless valves, chiefly rectifier valves, which is holding up the repair of thousands of wireless sets often for many months; and whether immediate steps will be taken to deal with this matter in view of the undesirability of large numbers of the public being cut off from wireless announcements?
§ Mr. DaltonI am well aware of the importance of securing an increase in the supply of wireless valves for civilian use. Short of interfering with the needs of the Services, everything possible is being done to release valves of British manufacture and to obtain supplies from the United States.
