86. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchisonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there is still being woven to wartime specification 38-inch dowlas; that this width of material is not a suitable furnishing width as printing rollers are mostly for 30-inch or 50-inch cloth; and whether he will give instructions that further production of this 38-inch cloth shall cease and the yarns be woven instead into widths, types and quantities of cloth suitable for furnishing for the home trade.
§ Mr. BelcherAll weaving of linen dowlas to wartime specifications has now ceased.
