HC Deb 07 December 1945 vol 416 cc2818-9W
Mr. S. Marshall

asked the President of the Board of Trade if the prohibition on corsets being made to measure can now be lifted, in order that older women can obtain the type of corset essential to them.

Sir S. Cripps

There is no prohibition on the making of corsets to measure, but in present circumstances a high proportion of the limited capacity suitable for this specialised work has to be devoted to the production of surgical corests to meet essential needs.
