HC Deb 30 October 1946 vol 428 c101W
89. Mr. J. Lewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the special coupon allowance for children's clothing is being used by some parents for their own purposes or sold in the black market; and if he will arrange for these coupons to be specially overstamped before issue.

Mr. Belcher

I feel sure that the supplementary sheets of coupons issued to children are normally used by parents for their proper purpose. It would not be practicable to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion, but the shopkeeper is already required to insist upon the children's clothing book being produced with the supplementary sheets of coupons.
