§ 57. Mr. W. J. Brownasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the shortage of sheets, pillow cases and tablecloths in the Rugby area; that one firm has only had three pairs of sheets in the last three years to dispose of; that sheets are being hawked from door to door in Rugby at £3 to £4 a pair while traders can get little or no supply; and if he will take steps to direct supplies of these articles to the Rugby area.
§ Mr. DaltonI have called for a special report on the supply of household linen in the Rugby area, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend when I receive it.
