HC Deb 23 July 1947 vol 440 cc147-8W
90. Mr. Boothby

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange for a special issue of clothing coupons to be made to schoolchildren who volunteer to lift the potato crop, for the purchase of a pair of boots and trousers.

Mr. Belcher

Supplementary coupons are being given to children generally on the same scale as in 1946. This should meet the situation and I am afraid we cannot allot further coupons to those who go harvesting.
