HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c139W
Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the difficulty in obtaining 15-ampere switch plugs, main D.P. switch fuses and wood blocks for fixing five-ampere switches, in Cardiff; and what steps he is taking to increase the supply.

Mr. Tomlinson

I am aware of a general shortage of these electrical components throughout the country, and I have taken steps to ensure that the most urgent requirements, both in Cardiff and elsewhere, are met with the least possible delay. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply is doing his utmost to increase production. If my hon. Friend will let me have details of any priority work that is held up, I will arrange for the necessary supplies.
