§ 80. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the President of the Board of Trade when silk and nylon stockings may be expected to be on sale in the shops.
§ Mr. Belcher:Very small supplies of pure silk stockings have always been reaching the home market, and will continue to do so. But pure silk is an expensive and imported raw material, and stockings made from it will, for the most part, be exported. I hope nylon stockings will begin to appear in the shops within the next three months.
