HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 cc1669-70
39. Dr. Stephen Taylor

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give an assurance that, when supplies of civilian clothing material increase, he will consider as a first concession the giving of a household allowance of coupons to housewives.

Sir S. Cripps

When the supplies of cotton yarn and materials increase I will certainly consider how best supplies can be allocated to those who need them most. For the moment there is no prospect of such an increase.
