HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 c269W
Brigadier Peto

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production what orders have been issued by the Ministry of Supply restricting the sale of electric cookers; why they are on sale in the showrooms of electrical undertakings; and why small retailers are unable to obtain them from the manufacturers.

Mr. J. Wilmot:

No order has been issued by my Department restricting the sale of electric cookers, but as the supply is not yet equal to the demand, retailers.may have difficulty in obtaining all they need.
