HC Deb 30 October 1946 vol 428 cc102-3W
Mr. Bossom

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken to overcome the shortage of white lead essential to the production of paint.

Sir S. Cripps

The shortage of white lead is due to the shortage of pig lead and my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Supply, is doing everything he can to alleviate that shortage.
