§ 105. Mr. Hubbardasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the increasing unemployment in the linoleum industry, he will allocate an increased tonnage of linseed oil to this industry from the amount made available by the Ministry of Food for industrial purposes.
§ Mr. MarquandLinseed oil allocations to using industries are determined by agreement between the Departments responsible for those industries. I regret that, owing to the continuing severe shortage of linseed oil and the many claims on our limited supplies, I see no prospect of any increase being possible, in the early future, in the allocation to the linoleum industry.
