HC Deb 22 January 1948 vol 446 c61W
100. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the serious shortage of materials and instruments used in dentistry; and whether, having regard to the small dollar cost relative to the need, he will permit increased imports from U.S.A.

Mr. Bevan

I am not aware of any serious shortage. If the hon. Member cares to give me more detail I will gladly look into it. Imports from U.S.A. are approved so far as needed to maintain essential supplies.
