§ 80. Mr. Bowdenasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that there are considerable stocks of non-fashioned stockings in shops and warehouses and if he will reduce the coupon value of these goods.
§ Mr. BelcherNo. I am not aware that stocks of unfashioned stockings are abnormally large. The coupon rate, except for wool or nylon, is already one half of that for fully fashioned stockings and I should not be justified in making it any lower.
