HC Deb 28 October 1947 vol 443 c51W
88. Mr. Skinnard

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange for a limited supply of Harvard dental cement to be imported into this country as, for certain types of dental work, it has been found superior to any home-produced cements.

Mr. Belcher

No. I am advised that a number of dental cements axe produced in this country which are satisfactory alternatives for that mentioned by my hon. Friend. Our balance of payments position does not accordingly permit of imports.
