HC Deb 21 August 1945 vol 413 cc459-60W
Mr. Murray

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the shortage of cycles in the township of Spenny more; that men have to travel long distances to work; that at certain hours no omnibuses are available; and will he endeavour to increase the supply of cycles and thus minimise these difficulties.

Sir S. Cripps

I am having an investigation made into the supply position in Spennymoor to see that it gets a fair share of bicycle supplies. The production of bicycles is increasing, and I shall take all suitable measures to accelerate this increase.
