§ 33. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that soap supplies in North Lincolnshire are not sufficient to meet rations; that traders are having their vouchers returned; and, since there are no laundries in rural areas and agricultural work is dirty, if he will see that better supplies are made available forthwith.
§ Mr. StracheyI know that some traders in North Lincolnshire have had trouble recently in obtaining supplies of particular brands of soap but I have taken steps which should by now have put the matter right.
