HC Deb 12 April 1949 vol 463 c241W
43. Mr. Gilzean

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to increase the supply of industrial overalls which are in short supply.

Mr. J. Edwards

The supply of overall cloths is the difficulty. All practicable steps are being taken to increase production of this cloth, but the needs of the export drive, especially to the dollar areas, must take precedence.
