HC Deb 15 March 1944 vol 398 cc247-8W
Mr. Lipson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the high coupon value of mackintoshes has resulted in large numbers being unsold which, in many instances, have so deteriorated that they are useless; and, as it is in the interests of the health of the workers and of pro- duction that they should have mackintoshes, will he facilitate the disposal of existing stocks by making them coupon free at least for a limited period.

Captain Waterhouse

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on 11th November to my hon. Friend the Member for Everton. (Mr. Kirby).
