HC Deb 17 February 1942 vol 377 c1623
1. Mr. Thorne

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give any information about the 60,000 coupons forged by Jack Coen, of Cotswauld Terrace, Salford, and seven others charged at Manchester police court, on Saturday, 7th February, with stealing the coupons; and whether Coen had printing machines at his house?

Colonel Llewellin

The defendants have been charged with being in possession of documents so closely resembling clothing coupons as to be likely to deceive and have been remanded. The case is therefore still sub judice.
