§ Mr. Walker-Smithasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that furniture manufacturers have ward- 414W robes and tallboys in store which are not disposed of by reason of there not being sufficient dockets in circulation to purchase them; and whether he will increase the number of dockets to cover the amount of furniture available.
§ Sir S. CrippsI am aware that from time to time stocks of some articles of utility furniture accumulate in the hands of manufacturers, but, in considering the number of units to be issued, I have to take into account not only the immediate situation but the prospects of future production in relation to demand. The supply of, and demand for, utility furniture is kept constantly under review.
