Colonel Clarkeasked the President of the Board of Trade why the cost of children's clothes and footwear under 18W price control is higher in comparison with those of adults than the respective amount of material and labour required for their manufacture suggests.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThe cost of making articles of clothing is not strictly proportionate to the size. The labour cost is proportionately greater for smaller sizes and the cost of trimmings, for example, may be the same or greater.
