asked the Minister of Supply if he is aware of the shortage of electrical equipment and materials in Aberdeen; that this shortage results in deterioration of installations and danger to life and limb and extensive unemployment; and when he will arrange to increase supplies.

I have been asked to reply. The supply of certain types of electrical equipment is not yet adequate to meet all demands, but I have not had my attention drawn to any particular difficulties in Aberdeen. If my hon. and learned Friend will supply me with particulars I shall be glad to look into the matter.
