HC Deb 09 December 1947 vol 445 c160W
69. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the acute shortage of baby carriages caused by the manufacturers having no steel; and what action does he propose to take in this matter.

Mr. Belcher

No. Enough steel is being allocated to this industry to maintain the level of supply to the home market which has ruled throughout the year, and I am informed that it is now exceptional for a mother to be unable to get a baby carriage for her child.
