HC Deb 13 November 1947 vol 444 cc92-3W
25. Major Bruce

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that 4,000 articles of underclothing have been sent recently to the City of Portsmouth as a gift from the people of Canada; and whether he will grant permission for them to be distributed by the Lord Hayor of Portsmouth, to those in need without surrender of coupons.

Mr. H. Wilson

Yes. I am aware of this generous gift. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Lonsdale (Sir I. Fraser) on 28th October, of which I am sending him a copy.
