§ 17 and 18. Mr. Yorkasked the President of the Board of Trade (1) whether he was aware of the shortage of supplies of X-ray films for British hospitals, when he placed an additional export quota on manufacturers in the autumn;
(2) whether he will relax the export quota of X-ray film manufacturers, until British hospital requirements are fully met.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI am not aware that British hospitals cannot get enough X-ray film, but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any case of difficulty I will look into it. There is no separate export target for X-ray film which is included in the general target for photographic sensitised materials.
