HC Deb 24 June 1947 vol 439 c28W
48. Mr. Carson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Alka-Seltzer Brand, effervescent analgesic alkalizing tablets, are being imported from the U.S.A.; why it is considered necessary to import it; and what is this country's dollar expenditure on this product.

Mr. Dalton

Yes. Imports of this product, which is now being manufactured in a development area, did not cost us dollars, and were made to test the market.
