§ Mr. Muffasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the Hull Corporation is in urgent need of wash boilers for reconditioned houses; that the manufacturers state their inability to supply them owing to his Department delaying the issue of M forms to the city architect; and if he will expedite the issue of the authority to purchase.
§ Mr. DaltonOwing to the serious shortage of labour and materials I have had to restrict the supply of wash boilers to households which have no other means of heating water in bulk. I regret that I could not accept the application by Hull Corporation because it related to houses which already have back-to-grate boilers.
