§ 27. Miss Baconasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the increasing difficulty in obtaining women's outsize garments; and what steps he proposes to take to encourage manufacturers to increase these supplies.
§ Sir S. CrippsDiscussions are proceeding with the trade associations concerned, and an announcement will shortly be made about changes in the present arrangements for encouraging the production of outsizes.
§ Mr. KeelingCan the right hon. and learned Gentleman give any explanation of the fact that the women of North-East Leeds are so much larger than the women of Thirsk?
§ Mr. JannerWill the right hon. and learned Gentleman take notice that this is a very urgent matter? Will he take into consideration that on 13th February a similar reply to the one he has just given was given to me in reply to a Question, and that, apparently, the position is becoming worse rather than better?
