§ 23 and 24. Mr. Murrayasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) whether he is aware how difficult it is to obtain teasets for everyday use; and what prospect there is of increased supplies in the near future;
(2) if he is aware of the difficulty in obtaining ordinary teapots; and whether he will take steps to improve the supplies of these utensils.
§ Sir S. CrippsI am aware that domestic pottery, including teasets and teapots, is still in short supply on the home market, but production is improving, and I am confident that in a few months' time the position will show a marked improvement.
