HC Deb 26 October 1939 vol 352 c1607W
Sir P. Harris

asked the Minister of Supply why he has not made use, in any way, of the London wool brokers who did excellent service during the last war, in view of the danger of putting them completely out of business and London ceasing to be the world wool centre after the war?

Mr. Burgin

I would refer the hon. Baronet to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for the Park Division of Sheffield (Mr. Lathan) on 18th October, to which I am unable at present to add. I would remind the hon. Baronet that none of the wool covered by our recent purchase of the Australian and New Zealand clips has yet reached this country.
