§ Mr. Randallasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the winding-up of the Government contracts for demobilisation suits and factories, material and labour being free to make suits for the home trade, he will consider reducing the coupon rate for men's suits.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. The pointing of suits is related to the amount and type of cloth in the suit and I have no reason to suppose that, having regard to the increase in the basic ration for the next period, the coupons available will be insufficient to absorb the production of men's suits likely to come forward in the period.
