HC Deb 07 July 1947 vol 439 c193W
58. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps he is taking to increase the number of tractor tyres and supplies of baling wire available in Shropshire.

Mr. T. Williams

Manufacturers of tractor tyres and of baling wire are endeavouring to increase their output in order to meet the greatly increased demand, but until current shortages of materials can be overcome, it will not be possible to meet full requirements. In the meantime, available supplies are being distributed as fairly as possible and I am afraid any particular area could only be helped at the expense of another.
