HC Deb 24 October 1950 vol 478 c328W
86. Mr. W. R. A. Hudson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to secure increased supplies of hessian for British roofing felt manufacturers so that an adequate quantity of reinforced roofing felt can be made available for housing requirements.

Mr. H. Wilson

The allocation of hessian for roofing felt is the maximum that can be made available in the present difficult supply conditions, and I can hold out no promise of any immediate increase.
