Viscountess Astorasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will take steps to bring shaving soap and shaving cream within the Limitation of Supplies Order, in view of the fact that their manufacture involves the use of glycerine, oil and metal tubes?
§ Mr. DaltonI have been asked to reply. Shaving soap and shaving creams are at present excepted from control under the Limitation of Supplies Orders. The question of the future scope of these Orders is now under consideration and I have noted the Noble Lady's suggestion.
