Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production whether he is aware that Mr. G. L. Clinton, of Firs Farm, Fernhill Heath, who has a milk round, has submitted an application, No. A. 543588, for the necessary tyres to carry on the delivery of this milk, which includes milk prescribed under doctors' orders for patients, and has been waiting for many weeks for the tyres to be supplied; and whether priority will be given to the supply of tyres for those engaged on such essential work.
§ Mr. WoodburnYes, Sir. Mr. Clinton's application was for four car tyres, and there was no indication that they were required for milk delivery. Now that this fact has emerged arrangements have been made to supply them forthwith.
