HC Deb 04 July 1944 vol 401 c983
9. Mr. Thorne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the representation made by the West Ham Education Committee, a copy of rich has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Plaistow; and what steps he is taking in the matter.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir, and I have given it careful consideration, but I regret that, at this critical stage of the war, I cannot see my way to extend the supplementary coupon allowance in the way suggested by the committee.
