HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c159W
Mr. Younger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the shortage of gloves and mittens for trawler fishermen in Grimsby; and whether he will arrange fur an adequate supply to be sent there in view of the increased number of men now going to sea.

Sir S. Cripps

This matter was raised last summer, and special measures were taken to see that the necessary gloves were made available to fishermen. I was not aware that this arrangement had proved inadequate, but I will certainly look into the matter.
