HC Deb 01 March 1948 vol 448 c28W
Mr. Heathcoat Amory

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of announcements made by his Department several months ago that industrial workers' printed cotton handkerchiefs, specification 601, would be available shortly, when supplies may be expected in retail shops.

Mr. H. Wilson

The first consignment of utility handkerchiefs, specification 601, was despatched by the manufacturers about a month ago. The quantity produced is relatively small and some retailers may, therefore, have difficulty in obtaining supplies.
