HC Deb 14 November 1944 vol 404 cc1803-4W
Sir L. Ward

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will arrange for the release of larger quantities of rubber to manufacturers of women's clothing and underwear.

Mr. Dalton

I am at present in touch with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply on this subject, but, as the House knows, the supplies of rubber are very scanty and there are many competing demands.
