HC Deb 27 January 1942 vol 377 c541
12. Mr. Mander

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the advisability of arranging that those engaged in the drop forgings industry should be included in the categories of persons allowed extra clothing coupons, by reason of the fact that the work on which the men are engaged is destructive of clothing?

The President of the Board of Trade (Sir Andrew Duncan)

Yes, Sir. Arrangements to this effect are in process of being carried out.

Mr. Mander

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how soon the arrangements will be put through?

Sir A. Duncan

Within the next day or two.
