28. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchisonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will make an issue of coupons to hostels catering for students and other young people to enable such establishments to purchase sheets and towels.
§ Mr. H. WilsonNo. Sir. The personal ration of the residents is intended to cover towels and sheets, and the hostels should either collect coupons from them or ask them to provide their own towels and sheets.
Lieut.-Commander HutchisonIs not the right hon. Gentleman aware that great difficulty is being caused because of this? Could he not make available, at least, a proportion of the allowance made available for hotels?
§ Mr. WilsonNo, I do not think that that would be appropriate.
