98. Mr. Jeger

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that there is a shortage of washing soap in Eastleigh, Hampshire; and whether he will cause supplies to be sent there.

Dr. Summerskill

I am told that there is no general shortage of washing soap in Eastleigh, Hampshire, at present, but that it may be necessary to try more than one shop to obtain supplies.

106. Mr. Hobson

asked the Minister of Food if he will ensure adequate supplies of soap are made available to retailers in Kingsbury and North Wembley, where a serious shortage persists.

Dr. Summerskill

I am informed that there is no general shortage of soap in Kingsbury or North Wembley at the present time, although a shop may not stock every type of soap.
