HC Deb 02 May 1944 vol 399 cc1210-1W
Mr. Burke

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has now given further consideration to the granting of an allowance of extra coupons to hospital nurses for the purchase of stockings.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir. I have now arranged for hospital nurses to receive each year certificates entitling them to buy nine coupons' worth of stockings without giving up their own coupons. Certificates for six coupons, to cover the remainder of the present rationing period, will be distributed this month.
