§ 44. Mr. Manderasked the President of the Board of Trade, what arrangements exist for enabling women, who are replacing men in garages and other places where boiler suits and other protective clothing is required to obtain these without coupons?
§ Captain WaterhouseBoiler suits are now obtainable at the reduced rate of four coupons, and women workers in garages should be able to obtain a reasonable number of these out of their ordinary ration of 66 coupons. A continuance of the former arrangements under which boiler suits were obtainable coupon-free would give these workers an advantage over the rest of the community, bearing in mind the saving of other clothing effected by wearing such overalls.
