HC Deb 12 July 1948 vol 453 cc65-6W
Mr. S. Marshall

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will arrange for students about to take up residence in colleges or other educational establishments to be provided with coupons to enable them to purchase the necessary bed sheets required by the colleges whose stock of bed sheets are entirely worn out.

Mr. H. Wilson

No. Coupons for sheets cannot be issued to students taking up residence at colleges or other educational establishments. Such students are expected to provide their own sheets either by using their personal coupons or by taking with them the sheets previously used in their own homes.
