§ 106. Mr. Piratinasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there is a shortage of cigarettes in the smaller towns and villages of Northumberland; and whether he will take immediate steps to ensure supplies on the basis of equitable distribution.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI have no evidence that cigarettes are any scarcer in Northumberland than elsewhere; but if the hon. Member would let me have any specific evidence that this is so and will let me know what particular towns and villages he has in mind, I should be prepared to make inquiries.
