HC Deb 23 January 1945 vol 407 cc658-9W
Mr. W. J. Edwards

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that lorry drivers and yardmen employed by builders' merchants are denied the issue of the ten supplementary clothing coupons for industrial purposes; and will he rectify this anomaly.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir. I have arranged that all lorry drivers who help in loading their vehicles shall be eligible for the ten supplementary coupons, and that yardmen employed by builders' merchants shall also be eligible, if they are doing heavy work.
