HC Deb 02 May 1944 vol 399 c1214W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Minister of Supply whether he can now give any estimate of when supplies of penicillin will be available for general use in this country.

Mr. Peat

The production of penicillin is being increased as rapidly as possible. I regret, however, that it is not possible to give any reasonable estimate of the time when supplies will be available for general use in this country, as this must depend, amongst other things, on Service requirements.
