§ Mr. Jannerasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that manufacturers are making few outsize women's dresses because they do not receive extra coupons for them although they have to use more material; and if he will take steps to rectify this position so that outsize persons are able to purchase their necessary clothing.
§ Mr. BelcherMore than nine million coupons have been issued to compensate manufacturers of women's outsize dresses for the losses which they would otherwise have incurred. I am, however, considering what further steps can be taken to stimulate the production of outsizes.
