§ 110. Mr. Symondsasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in the interests of hygiene, he will authorise to hairdressers a coupon-free issue of hairdressing gowns and shaving towels.
§ Mr. BelcherHairdressing gowns are already coupon-free and the Board of Trade have recently issued coupons to makers-up for the purchase of material which should lead to production on a substantial scale. Some little time ago, a distribution of towels, including some smaller towels, was made to hairdressers from accumulated stocks. We are not in a position to repeat this concession.
