HC Deb 25 March 1947 vol 435 cc173-4W
62. Mr. Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the surrender of clothing coupons is necessary for the purchase of second-hand clothing and remade articles of clothing sold at village jumble sales and charity bazaars.

68. Mr. Hurd

asked the President of the Board of Trade why his Department has warned the Pangbourne Women's Institute, in connection with their proposed sale of work, that clothing coupons must be surrendered for re-made children's garments such as boys' trousers made out of adults' skirts or trousers.

69. Mr. Collins

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has considered the facts placed before him by the hon. Member for Taunton, in a letter dated 17th March, regarding the obligation to collect clothing coupons when used, remade, home made, or new garments are sold at jumble sales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Belcher

Under the Consumer Rationing Order, anyone conducting a bazaar or sale of work is required to take the appropriate number of coupons when rationed goods are supplied. Re-made garments are not exempt from coupons.
