HC Deb 17 June 1947 vol 438 c200W
68. Sir W. Darling

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is prepared to consider the issue of working aprons, pinafores and overalls without coupons, in view of the fact that these are the essential costume of the working woman at home.

Mr. Belcher

Aprons made of plastic material are already free of coupons. To take all aprons and overalls off the ration in the present state of supplies, would lead to unfair distribution.
