HC Deb 20 November 1947 vol 444 c200W
22. Commander Maitland

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the continued shortage of lorry tyres in the county of Lincolnshire; and if he will improve supplies in order to ensure that the campaign to produce more food is not hindered.

Mr. H. Wilson

The present need for certain sizes of lorry tyres is in excess of the available supplies. Tyre production is, however, increasing, and additional supplies will gradually be distributed to all areas, including Lincolnshire.
