§ Mr. J. Morrisonasked the President of the Board of Trade why it is not possible to purchase plastic mackintoshes without coupons, while the same plastic material can be purchased by the yard without coupons.
§ Mr. BelcherThe conversion of plastic material to clothing involves the use of making up facilities, and coupons are reasonably charged. Furskin and leather are similarly unrationed, but clothing made from them is subject to coupons. I should not wish to add plastic material to the ration in view of its various household uses.
