HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c260W
71. Mrs. Middleton

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that women's winter vests, either in wool, silk and wool, or wool and cotton, are practically unobtainable; what is the cause of this; and what steps he proposes to take in order to increase the supply without delay.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Clitheroe (Mr. Randall) on 21st November and to that given to my hon. Friend the Member for Willesden East (Mr. Orbach), on 26th November.
