§ 68. Colonel Ropnerasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that many clothes manufactured for the home market and sold at high prices are of a most inferior quality; and whether he will agree to allow materials of better quality to be used for the manufacture of reasonably-priced clothes to be sold in this country.
§ Mr. J. EdwardsThe manufacture of reasonably-priced clothes is ensured by the utility scheme. Most of the clothes sold in this country are utility garments made to approved specifications which provide sound quality at controlled prices and I do not think alteration of these arrangements is called for.
