HC Deb 20 February 1945 vol 408 c643W
Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to reduce the coupon value of towels for household purposes or make at least one towel per annum coupon free.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir. I regret that, in view of the present shortage of textile supplies, I cannot at present see my way to adopt my Noble Friend's suggestion.
