§ 82. Mr. Hobsonasked the President of the Board of Trade why plastic material is sold coupon free by the yard wholesale or retail although coupons must be surrendered for ready-made goods of the same material.
§ Mr. BelcherAs the hon. Member for Salisbury (Mr. J. Morrison) was informed on 6th November last, the conversion of plastic material to clothing involves the use of making up facilities, and coupons are reasonably charged. Furskin and leather are similarly unrationed, but clothing made from them is subject to coupons. I should not wish to add plastic material to the ration in view of its various household uses.
