§ 96. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the serious shortage of supplies of utility cloth for the home trade, which is causing considerable difficulty to the making-up section of the industry; and if he will authorise that a definite percentage of utility cloth be directed to the home market for made-up garments.

§ Mr. H. WilsonI am aware that makers-up would like to get more utility cloth but supplies of cloth for the home market are limited by the need to meet export targets. Within the total so available the proportion within the utility scheme is being increased.
