Brigadier Clarkeasked the Minister of Supply if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Messrs. Rootes have had to curtail production due to the shortages of raw materials; and what steps he is taking in this matter.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussYes; the shortage of sheet steel is curtailing production throughout the motor industry. I regret that there is not likely to be an improvement in the supply before the last quarter of the year.
