§ 78. Lieut.-Colonel Corbettasked the President of the Board of Trade what are the regulations limiting the number of industrial corduroy trousers of over 32 inch length available to retailers.
§ Mr. BottomleyIt is shortage of corduroy cloth that limits the number of industrial corduroy trousers available in all sizes. Production of over 32 inch length is at present subject to licence because, as part of arrangements designed to secure that all available utility cloth is made up into working style trousers, and not into ordinary trousers with turn-ups, the utility garment specification includes a maximum inside leg measurement.
