§ 39. Mr. Jannerasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now grant priority dockets for the purchase of sheets to those people who have taken evacuees into their homes for a considerable period during the war.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. While supplies are so short, I regret that I cannot see my way to extend the issue of priority dockets as my hon. Friend suggests.
§ Mr. JannerWill the right hon. Gentleman not reconsider his decision, in view of the very grave and serious injury caused to these people by the use of their sheets?
§ Sir S. CrippsThere are very many people urgently in need of sheets, and it is not possible, until supplies are greater, to extend the priority dockets.
