HC Deb 13 February 1940 vol 357 c598W
Mr. Pearson

asked the Minister of Health whether he will sanction grants being made by local government authorities towards the purchase of wool to local organisations set up for the making of woollen comforts for members of the armed Forces?

Miss Horsbrugh

My right hon. Friend does not think that he would be justified in sanctioning expenditure by local authorities for the purpose mentioned.
