§ Major Coxasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will arrange for increased numbers of good quality children's toys for Christmas and New Year gifts to be made available at reasonable prices in the North-east Cheshire area.
§ Mr. DaltonAs I have already informed the House, I have taken special steps by increasing the quota to make more toys available for the Christmas trade. North-East Cheshire has had an equal opportunity with the rest of the country to share in these extra supplies. The quality of war-time toys is, unfortunately, affected by shortage of materials and labour. Toy prices are controlled under the Toys and Indoor Games (Maximum Prices and Records) Order, 1943 (S. R. & O. 1943, No. 615, dated 22nd April, 1943).
