HC Deb 21 June 1948 vol 452 cc105-6W
82. Mr. Harrison

asked the Minister of Food if he will take the necessary steps to increase the supply of hard soap, as distinct from soap powders, etc., available for sale in the shops in and around Nottingham.

Dr. Summerskill

We arranged for the distribution of domestic hard soap to be increased by approximately 7 per cent. from 1st March last, and the general supply position has already improved. We have had no complaints of shortage of hard soap from the Nottingham area for some months but it my hon. Friend knows of a shortage in a particular district I will gladly look into it.
