Mr. De la Béreasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the necessity of many users of Aladdin lamps in the rural areas where electricity is not available, to obtain Loxon chimneys for these lamps, he will make available a more adequate supply; and what is the reason for the present shortage.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe limiting factor in production of Loxon chimneys is the shortage of skilled labour for notching their bases. Special machinery has now been imported for this operation and I hope that production will now gradually increase both for home use and for export.
