HC Deb 22 May 1946 vol 423 cc82-3W
73. Mr. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that bespoke tailors are not receiving sufficient woollen materials and linings to honour the coupons in the hands of ex-Servicemen and civilians; and what steps is he taking to make greater supplies available.

Mr. Marquand

No, Sir. Supplies of wool cloth and linings suitable for the production of suits are slowly increasing, and will continue to expand as labour returns to the textile industries.
