§ 96. Mr. Murrayasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that organisations such as the Church Lads' Brigade and others needing uniforms are hampered and restricted in their work owing to the scarcity of coupons; and will he consider the question of reducing the coupon value of surplus secondhand stock, and thus assist these youth organisations to obtain the necessary uniforms.
§ Sir S. CrippsI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Rossendale (Mr. Walker) on 28th November.
§ Mr. MurrayWill not the Minister reconsider this matter, as it is very difficult for people who are trying to keep youth organisations together to do anything unless some reduction can take place?
§ Sir S. CrippsThe matter has been considered very carefully, and, very regretfully, we are unable to do it.
