§ Mr. Hastingsasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the approach of winter, he will increase the supply of woollen vests for young children, as these are now almost unobtainable.
§ Sir S. CrippsIn spite of a slight fall in production during the holiday months of July and August, supplies of children's woollen underwear will be better than they were last winter. The continued shortage of wool yarn, unfortunately, prevents as much improvement as we48W should wish, but the close restriction on exports will help to improve home supplies.
