§ 66 and 70. Mr. Errollasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) why the firm of Moorfield Art Silks, Ltd., Farnworth, has not been granted an increased allocation of warping paper for rayon yarn manufacture, in view of the fact that the whole of the increase of output of this firm is destined for export, and that for lack of this yarn weavers who would otherwise be engaged in the export drive are idle;
(2) what steps he is taking to secure an adequate supply of warping paper for rayon yarn manufacturers who are attempting to increase production for export.
§ Mr. BelcherAlthough paper supplies are difficult, I am not aware of any general shortage in respect of warping paper for rayon yarn, but I shall be glad to review the position of any firm whose exports are held up on this account. In the case of Moorfield Art Silks, Ltd., inquiries are being made and, if justified, an additional quantity will be licensed for their requirements.
