§ 8. Mr. Cocksasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider issuing extra coupons to cooks in private service for the purchase of aprons and overalls.
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Dalton)No, Sir. I regret that I cannot see my way to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion.
§ Mr. CocksIs not the Minister aware that when these employees have bought aprons and overalls and other necessary articles they have very few coupons left for shoes or anything else?
§ Mr. DaltonI am quite sympathetic towards them, but I do not think that indoor domestic work can have a very high priority.
