§ 97. Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if the Wollkammerei combing plant at Bremen has vet gone into production; what percentage of its combs are working; how much tops it is expected to produce during the next three months; whence it gets its raw material; and what happens to its production.
§ Mr. J. HyndYes, Sir. Twenty-eight per cent. of the combs are now in working order and, subject to fuel and power being available, the plant can be expected to yield about 700 tons of tops in the next three months. The raw materials for this purpose are partly imported by the Control authorities and partly obtained from German sources; the finished product is used to meet essential German requirements in the British and U.S. zones.
