HC Deb 26 November 1946 vol 430 c275W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the President of the Board of Trade why it is necessary to import perambulators, in view of the fact that the perambulator output is from 60 per cent. to 71 per cent. greater than for the year 1935, when there were more than sufficient perambulators to meet all demands.

Mr. Marquand

The output of perambulators is steadily increasing but is not yet sufficient to meet demand. I hope that the small number of perambulators which we are importing will go a little way to relieve the present shortage on the home market.
