HC Deb 23 January 1945 vol 407 c659W
Wing-Commander Grant-Ferris

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will reconsider the refusal to permit the supply of T.C. pipes to any organisation or trading concern for sale exclusively on board troopships.

Mr. Dalton

Manufacturers are perfectly free to supply pipes for sale on board troopships. But as my hon. and gallant Friend knows, pipes are at present very scarce.
