§ Brigadier Lowasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the need of increasing hotel accommodation at the earliest possible opportunity and in view of the fact that many hotels are shortly to be derequisitioned, he will now consider the preparation of some scheme by which a reasonable proportion of some coupon-free material and priority dockets will be available to hotel proprietors.
§ Mr. Ellis SmithNo, Sir. This would not be possible so long as supplies of household textiles remain insufficient to meet the pressing needs of many classes of private householders.
