HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 c297W
Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local education authorities have been unable to obtain reflective arm-bands for schoolchildren owing to shortage of supplies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

Detailed information of this kind is not available to me. On the general question of supply by manufacturers, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 4th December by my hon. Friend, the Joint Minister of State, Board of Trade, to the hon. Member for Tynemouth (Dame Irene Ward).—[Vol. 774, c.483–4.]
