§ Mr. Hutchinsonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the difficulty experienced by the families of Servicemen in obtaining essential articles of furniture and bedding arrangements can be made for priority to be given to Service families in the supply of utility furniture.
§ Mr. DaltonProduction of utility furniture is only sufficient to allow permits to be granted to very limited classes of people. These include the bombed out, families with young children or expecting the birth of a child, and persons married since the 1st September, 1939. The essential needs of Servicemen's families are, I hope, covered by these arrangements.
