HC Deb 28 February 1952 vol 496 c185W
107. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that there is a shortage of winter clothing in the north-east of Scotland; and what is the cause of this and what steps he is taking to make it good.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Recent reports from this area do not indicate a shortage of any kind of clothing. If the hon. and learned Member will let me have particulars of any shortage which has been brought to his notice, I will look into the matter.
