§ Mr. Purbrickasked the Minister of Supply, in view of the fact that used tennis and golf balls yield practically as much rubber if returned as is required in the manufacture of new ones, whether he will reconsider his decision to forbid their manufacture, which decision deprives a section of the community of their form of exercise, which is of particular advantage to those employed in sedentary work?
§ Sir A. DuncanIn the present serious shortage I can hold out no expectation of being able to allow the use of rubber for these purposes. There are, however, considerable stocks of tennis and golf balls in the country.
