HC Deb 10 February 1947 vol 433 cc1367-8
26. Mr. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give an assurance that there is no danger of clothing supplies being insufficient to meet the present coupons owing to the stoppage of production through the coal crisis.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to my, hon. Friend the Member for Coat-bridge (Mrs. Mann) on 13th February.

Mr. Osborne

Is the Minister aware that there is a growing shortage of small, sizes in the shops, and will he take steps to remedy that?

Sir S. Cripps

That is another point altogether.
