HC Deb 28 March 1944 vol 398 c1236
31. Mr. Kirkwood

asked the President of the Board of Trade on what basis coupons are allotted for replacement of articles lost through enemy action while in laundries; whether he is aware that in North London, Case No. 59204, only eight coupons were awarded for replacing the loss of two towels, three shirts and six collars; and whether he will take steps to remedy such anomalies.

Captain Waterhouse
