HC Deb 10 July 1946 vol 425 cc92-3W
116. Sir I. Fraser

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is now in a position to arrange for increased supplies of phenolic moulding powder for firms making electrical accessories.

Mr. Belcher:

The supply of phenolic moulding powders is now considerably greater than it was before or during the war, but I am afraid that no further substantial increase can be expected until additional manufacturing capacity comes into operation towards the end of the year. Meantime, the uses to which producers are giving priority in distributing these powders include the making of electrical accessories for housing.
