HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c158W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the repeated complaints of South Wales members of the E.T.U. that their work is impeded and unemployment caused by lack of supplies; and if he will increase the allocation of electrical equipment to this area.

Mr. Tomlinson

There is a general shortage of electrical equipment and any increase in the allocation to this area could only be at the expense of other areas. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply is doing his utmost to increase production.
