HC Deb 18 March 1947 vol 435 cc52-3W
Mr. D. Marshall

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that many charitable organisations in Cornwall have been disturbed by a report that alterations have been made with regard to giving coupons at jumble sales, etc.; and if he will confirm that no such alterations have taken place.

Mr. Belcher

The position is the same as it always has been since the beginning of clothes rationing. Under the Consumer Rationing Order, anyone conducting a bazaar or sale of work is required to take the appropriate number of coupons when rationed goods are supplied. Re-made garments are not exempt from coupons
