Household Goods (Coupons)

HC Deb 20 February 1946 vol 419 cc243-4W

Major P. Roberts

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will allocate three spare coupons at the end of the ration book to be used exclusively for household and bedding material now on coupons, to help the housewife to replace sheets, etc., which have become worn out with six years' constant use.

Mr. Belcher

I regret that, at present, this is not possible.

Mr. S. Shephard

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the issue of special coupons to housewives for the purpose of obtaining household linen.

Mr. Belcher

No, Sir.
