§ 65. Mr. Loganasked the Minister of Health if he is aware of the delay to thousands of persons in receiving optical benefits; and if he will seek powers to prevent the exportation of spectacle lenses for the next three months to make good the deficiency.
§ Mr. BevanYes. As anticipated, heavy initial demands are resulting in temporary delays, but increased production should soon close the gap. The export of spectacle lenses is already subject to licence.
