HC Deb 23 March 1948 vol 448 cc2772-3
76. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the public service rendered in the past and to be rendered this year by Aberdeen University Charities Campaign commencing on 19th April, 1948, and of the fact that last year his Department allowed 200 coupons to dress the dramatic cast, will he reconsider his reduced allowance this year of 5o coupons and extend it to 150 coupons required as a minimum to dress the cast of 65 students of which he has notice.

80. Lady Grant

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the issue of 5o clothing coupons to Aberdeen University for the annual theatricals of the Students' Charities Campaign can be increased to 15o, in view of the issue of 200 coupons in 1947.

Mr. Bottomley

I am satisfied that the coupons allocated for this purpose are as much as are justified in the present circumstances.
