HC Deb 21 February 1918 vol 103 c941W
Mr. DENMAN

asked the Minister of Munitions whether supplies of linseed oil required for the production of glycerine and soap are being used with his approval in the production of linoleum?

Mr. WARDLE

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. The War Cabinet have decided that, in order that Government requirements may be met and to obviate unemployment in certain localities, manufacturers of linoleum shall be allowed to use certain stocks of linseed oil actually in their hands. I understand that certain processes now under investigation may enable manufacturers to dispense with the use of linseed oil at an early date.
