§ Mr. Boothbyasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there is a serious shortage of kettles in the country districts of Scotland; and, in view of their importance to the housewife, whether he will arrange for further supplies to be made available?
§ Mr. DaltonAs my hon. Friend will appreciate, the output of kettles is limited by the heavy demands for labour for war industries, but I have recently arranged for production to be stepped up and Scotland will get its fair share of the increased supplies.
