§ 43. Mr. John Rodgersasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the continued advance in the price of raw materials and of increases already sanctioned by his Department for certain types of merchandise, he has any information as to the date when hosiery schedule L will be revised.
Mr. H. WilsonDiscussions have recently taken place between my Department and representatives of the hosiery industry and a revised schedule of manufacturers' maximum prices for utility knitted goods will be published in about a month's time.
§ Mr. RodgersWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind, the necessity for flexibility in the schedules if the goods are to be kept in the shops?
Mr. WilsonI agree, and in most utility schemes we have been introducing the maximum flexibility during the past few weeks.
