HC Deb 31 March 1949 vol 463 cc136-7W
78. Mr. Piratin

asked the President of the Board of Trade what increases in the price of flannelette, cloth and cotton garments have been authorised by his Department; what is the actual increase in the retail price; and why he has authorised these increases.

Mr. H. Wilson

Following is a list of the orders published during the last six months which contained revised maximum prices (including some decreases) for manufacturers and distributors of utility cotton garments including those made from flannelette. The increases relate to the increases in the price of raw cotton which occurred last spring.
