§ Viscount Castlereaghasked the Minister of Production if, in view of the large increase in the number of flies and other germ-carrying insects and the danger of a corresponding increase in disease, he will make available to the public the disinfectant, dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane.
§ Mr. LytteltonThe total production of D.D.T. available to the United Nations is at present required for military use and it is not possible to release any for general civilian use. A small quantity has, however, recently been allocated to the Ministry of Health for use in air raid shelters. Raw materials for effective fly sprays have been available to manufacturers during 1944.
