§ 88. Major Haughtonasked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of the total output of mattresses for the home market is now in utility styles; and to what extent a better balance as between supply and demand has been attained by the decision to permit manufacturers to make non-utility bedding.
§ Mr. BelcherThe manufacture of non-utility mattresses was resumed at the end of November, 1946, and figures of output are not yet available. Though small in relation to the total, this production is additional to supplies planned under the utility programme.
