I am very pleased indeed to have been called so early. I have been rather caught on one leg, because I had no idea that I should have the good fortune to catch your eye so soon, Major Milner. The question of shortages is one about which there can be no two opinions. That there are shortages of consumer goods, we all agree. But to realise the extent of those shortages it is necessary, I think, for hon. Members such as the hon.' Member for East Norfolk (Mr. Medlicott) to go to America and to see there the superfluity and abundance of consumer goods in the shops. We have slipped so long and so far that we do not realise how much we have given up of our prewar standards, and it is only by going across to America we can see what life really could be for all classes. [HON. MEMBERS: "In America?"] In America.
