HC Deb 10 February 1947 vol 433 c15W
86. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Supply if he will consider the position caused by the shortage of tinned steel wire for thresher screens required by Messrs. Garvie and Sons, Aberdeen, in the manufacture of threshing machines, of which he has notice, and take steps to provide the allocation of steel required.

Mr. Wilmot

The Iron and Steel Board is doing all it can to expedite supplies to this company, but I am afraid that the present transport position may make any immediate relief difficult.
