§ Captain J. Dugdaleasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider allocating special coupons to football clubs wishing to purchase football kit for loan to their members?
§ Captain WaterhouseNo, Sir. I am afraid that the issue of special coupons to football or other sports clubs would not be justified in the present position of short supply. There is no objection to clubs collecting coupons from their supporters and the Board are willing to exchange these for coupons of a type which may be tendered in shops in a loose form and not attached to a clothing card.
§ Mr. Gordon Macdonaldasked the President of the Board of Trade if he can now state what concession he is able to make 751W to colliery surface workers regarding the granting of additional coupons for clothing?
§ Captain WaterhouseThe evidence received regarding the needs of colliery surface workers for additional clothing coupons is being examined, but I am not yet in a position to announce a. definite long-term plan.
