HC Deb 13 March 1947 vol 434 c240W
105. Commander Noble

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether consideration has been given to an extra allocation of clothing coupons to expectant mothers for the purchase of cot sheets, now that all cotton and linen sheets are sold on the personal clothing coupons.

Sir S. Cripps

The allocation of coupons for expectant mothers was increased last year from 60 to 70 and infants get the full civilan ration. I think that together, these should be adequate to cover necessary purchases of cot sheets which cost only one coupon each.
