HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c117W
75. Mrs. Mann

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the difficulty experienced by housewives in getting outsize overalls; and if he will take steps to get supplies in greater quantities distributed to the shopping centres.

Mr. Bottomley

I am fully aware of this shortage which extends to both domestic and industrial overalls of all sizes. Overall cloths are one of our best exports and greater supplies for the home market must depend upon increased production.
