HC Deb 01 July 1947 vol 439 c138W
72. Mr. Digby

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the difficulty of obtaining 5.25 x 19 tyres; and what steps he is taking to help owners of motor cars fitted with tyres of this size who use their motor cars for farming or essential purposes and who are unlikely to be able to obtain new motor cars for some years.

Mr. Belcher

Yes. This is a semi-obsolete size, but I am discussing with the industry means of increasing the supply of these and other sizes no longer in general demand.
