HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 cc265-6W
109. Lieutenant-Colonel Byers

asked the Minister of Supply what quantities of steel for the manufacture of window frames are being imported from the Continent during the period May to December, 1946.

Mr. Wilmot

7,500 tons, Sir.

110. Lieut.-Colonel Byers

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that insufficient sections F4 are being rolled to balance the rollings of sections F7, for windows, with the result that window makers are restricted to the manufacture of windows which will only fit lavatories or bathrooms; and what steps he is taking to ensure that this unevenness of production is remedied.

Mr. Wilmot

Yes, Sir; and with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Works I am seeking to get the production into balance.
