§ 60. Mr. Bossomasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has made, or intends to make, an order to invalidate clothing coupons of the early issues.
§ Sir S. CrippsAn order will be made in due course in accordance with the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Northampton (Mr. Paget) on 3rd June.
§ 61. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make available the "Industrial Ten" 83W coupons to Ministry of Labour management staff whose duties require him to be constantly in the workshops in Ministry of Labour training centres.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo request on these lines had previously reached my Department and, in general, managers do not get the "Industrial Ten." I should, of course, be ready to consider any submission made to me.
§ 70. Mr. Sargoodasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider amending the regulations with a view to reducing the requisite number of hours to be worked by women, on part-time, before they are able to qualify for an issue of 10 industrial clothing coupons, in order to encourage the return of women to industry.
§ Sir S. CrippsYes. I already have this matter under review.
