§ 90. Sir P. Macdonaldasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the shortage of chains for replacement purposes on bicycles actually in use; and whether, having regard to the usefulness of bicycles as an alternative means of transport to petrol driven vehicles, he will take steps to remedy this shortage.
§ Mr. J. JonesThere is a general shortage of bicycle chains, owing to the heavy demand on the precision chain industry for chain of all descriptions. A revised scheme of distribution of cycle chain for replacement purposes has recently been adopted and the supply substantially increased.
