HC Deb 28 October 1949 vol 468 c194W
Mr. N. Smith

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, devaluation having raised the sterling price of lenses above the limit of licence for import from Czechoslovakia, there is added delay in providing spectacles for National Health Service patients; and what he proposes to do to remedy the matter.

Mr. Bevan

If there is any such delay I hope that increased British production will offset it.
