HC Deb 31 October 1944 vol 404 cc642-3W
Mr. Creech Jones

asked the President of the Board of Trade how soon he will consider making household goods coupon free and permit towels and tea-towels to be either of lower coupon value or coupon free.

Mr. Dalton

The only essential household goods which are rationed are towels and tea-towels. On these, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for West Edinburgh (Lieut.-Commander Hutchison) on 26th September.
