§ Mr. Pagetasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has considered a resolution from the Northampton Trades Council requesting him to consider making a supplementary issue of coupons for the replacement of household linen; and what reply he proposes to make to it.
§ Sir S. CrippsI do not appear to have received a copy of the resolution. If my hon. Friend will send me one I will communicate with him, but I can hold out no hope of a supplementary issue of the kind suggested, the present ration being already adjusted to cover the purchase of all the household linen likely to come available in the period.
