§ Sir A. DuncanI have considered the appeal to which the hon. Member refers but cannot agree to provide facilities to enable the Women's Junior Air Corps or other similar youth organisations to obtain coupon-free uniforms.
§ Mr. Mortasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that many people in Swansea have lost their old ration books and cannot get the new clothing coupons; that they are without official information as to how they can obtain them; and will he remedy this by issuing definite instructions?
