HC Deb 31 January 1945 vol 407 c1482W
Sir A. Knox

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement of the position as regards household bed linen; and whether it is possible to increase the supply of bed linen by reducing the output of fancy coloured fabrics for dresses.

Captain Waterhouse

The output of bed linen is maintained at the highest level possible after taking into account other essential needs. If any opportunity arises for increasing production I shall take it, but the production of dress fabrics has already been reduced, and I fear that no further easement can be looked for there.
