§ 20. Mr. Randallasked the, President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the recent completion of orders for additional shirts to meet the speed-up in the demobilisation programme, men's shirtings of substantial quantity may now be diverted to the home market.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe quantity of shirting diverted in recent months from home civilian production to the manufacture of demobilisation shirts has amounted to not more than about three per cent. of total current home supplies of shirtings. The effect of the end of this diversion on home supplies will be correspondingly small.
