§ Mr. Perkinsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider granting extra coupons to women working in British Restaurants in a voluntary capacity.
§ Captain WaterhouseYes, Sir. Any workers, whether paid or voluntary, who are engaged for 22 hours a week or more in the cooking, preparation or service of food are eligible for the "Industrial Ten" supplementary coupons.
§ Mr. Perkinsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider making available for farm-workers Army boots or boots of a similar standard.
§ Captain WaterhouseI am afraid that, in present circumstances, Army boots must be reserved for the Army, but I would assure my hon. Friend that the supply of heavy boots for agricultural and industrial workers has been improving and is now not unsatisfactory.
