HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c99W
122. Major Haughton

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the bank strike in Northern Ireland, it has been found possible to take some steps to release coupons to enable making-up firms to purchase cloth.

Sir S. Cripps

Yes, Sir. A General Licence has been signed and will be published tomorrow enabling deliveries of rationed goods to be made in Northern Ireland to makers-up and other traders against a declaration in due form by the purchaser of ability to meet the coupon expenditure involved. Full information is being circulated in the normal way both here and in Northern Ireland.
