HC Deb 11 December 1941 vol 376 c1704W
Colonel Gretton

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether coupons are required from purchasers of garments and other articles of clothing made by church workers, and others, for sales on behalf of churches and charitable purposes; if so, whether any regulations or instructions have been issued, and what becomes of the coupons required from purchasers at such sales?

Captain Waterhouse

Coupons must be collected from the purchasers of rationed clothing and footwear at sales of work on behalf of churches and charitable purposes. The coupons so collected must be surrendered to the Board of Trade within a fortnight of the termination of the sale. This has been made clear in Press notices and other publicity.
