HC Deb 04 March 1946 vol 420 c3
4. Mr. Palmer

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give renewed consideration to issuing clothing coupons to youth organisations, in order to assist them in the purchase of clothing necessary to carry on their work.

Sir S. Cripps

No, Sir. Supplies are still too short to allow any concession.

9. Mr. George Wallace

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the issue of surplus CD. uniforms to approved girls' youth organisations, such as the Girls' Training Corps, for the purpose of making up uniform skirts, etc

Sir S. Cripps

No, Sir. It is not practicable to make direct sales of Government surplus clothing, including Civil Defence uniforms, to specialised classes of users.
