HC Deb 18 November 1947 vol 444 c162W
67. Mr. Sharp

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to ensure the production and availability for farmers of 8.00-19 H.D.V. tyres which are required for farm carts; why none has been available this year and no early improvement in the position is anticipated; and when supplies will be made available to farmers.

Mr. Belcher

Although demand is in excess of supply, increasing quantities of 800-19 H.D.V. tyres have been made-available for replacement purposes during 1947.
