§ 31. Mr. Kirkwoodasked 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 WaterhouseIn the present shortage of supplies, coupons can be issued to replace lost clothing only to the extent that the applicants' remaining stock falls below a minimum essential level. The case referred to by my hon. Friend was dealt with in this way.
