HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c252W
99. Mr. Baird

asked the Minister of Works if he will increase supplies of plaster of paris for surgical and dental use.

Mr. Wilson

The output of all types of gypsum plaster is limited both by the supplies of gypsum and by manufacturing capacity, but steps are being taken to overcome these difficulties. Meanwhile manufacturers of plaster have been asked to give preference to dental and surgical requirements.
