HC Deb 24 July 1941 vol 373 c1072W
Mr. Hall-Caine

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether, in view of the Consumer Rationing Order, 1941, S.R.O. 701, and the necessity for conserving clothing, he will consider allowing dry-cleaners supplies of trichlorethylene cleaning solvent in excess of the present quota of 40 per cent. of pre-war usings so as to enable the dry-cleaning industry adequately to fulfil the demands of the public for dry-cleaning?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

Arrangements have already been made which provide that, as from 1st July, dry-cleaners will be able to secure supplies of trichlorethylene equivalent to 60 per cent. of their normal consumption.
