§ Mr. Lipsonasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the influx of evacuees into a certain area, he will increase the allocation of Exide dry batteries as the present allowance is inadequate to meet the additional demand.
§ Mr. DaltonThe supply of dry batteries for the civilian population is limited on account of large and vital Service demands, but I am making every effort to see that available supplies are distributed in accordance with local need.
