I regret that supply is still considerably below demand, and I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply that he fears it is likely to remain so for some time. Hampshire's allocation for 1946 was 379 tons, not 295, which was about three-quarters of the estimated requirements of 520 tons. Total available supplies for the first quarter of 1947 have now been allocated. Hampshire's share could only be increased at the expense of other counties, and this, I am afraid, I cannot do.
