§ Flight-Lieutenant Beswickasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that alarm clocks are unobtainable in the Uxbridge district; and if he will take steps to remedy this state of affairs.
§ Mr. Wilmot1 have been asked to reply. The general position in regard to the supply of alarm clocks is now improving. Last November, the import quota was increased and supplies from overseas should soon be available. The home production of alarm clocks has also now started and is expected to build up rapidly. The situation in Uxbridge has been brought to the notice of the representative body of the trade which is responsible for distributing available supplies, and I hope they will be able to help.
