HC Deb 25 July 1946 vol 426 c51W
Mr. Keenan

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will now permit the sale of men's utility socks to be sold coupon free, because outfitters still have large stocks not asked for since the re-introduction of men's long socks for sale.

Sir S. Cripps

No, Sir. I have no general evidence that stocks of austerity short socks are frozen but I am keeping the position constantly under review.
