§ 6. Mr. Harrisonasked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent has the policy of increasing the supplies of men's and boys' wear in the shops been achieved to date; and how much material has been allocated for this purpose from the quotas of materials that were previously used to make ladies' garments.
§ Mr. H. WilsonManufacturers of wool cloth for the home market have been pressed for some time to give preference to the production of cloths suitable for men's wear, and although I have no complete figures of the division of output between men's and women's types in recent periods my information suggests that a considerable transfer from women's to men's cloths is taking place. It will, however, take some time before the effects of this are felt in the shops.
