HC Deb 03 February 1947 vol 432 c304W
Mr. Prescott

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the allocation of coal to the cotton industry is granted on the basis of a percentage of the industry's normal winter requirements and allocations made to other industries on the basis of a percentage of maximum production requirements.

Sir S. Cripps

The revised allocation for cotton is calculated on the same basis as for other industry, i.e. as a percentage of its previous allocaiton.
