HC Deb 11 March 1940 vol 358 c840W
Mr. Dolan

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, as the requisition price of raw home-grown wool is approximately 10d. a pound, including packing and delivery, he is satisfied that the price of 9s. 4d. a pound of coloured knitting wool to the public is justified?

Major Lloyd George

Knitting yarn of the qualities most commonly used, is a price regulated article under the Prices of Goods Act and if my hon. Friend has in mind any particular cases in which the price of knitting yarn appears to have been raised unduly since the war began, I would ask him to report them to the proper price regulation committee who will investigate them.
