HC Deb 13 December 1949 vol 470 c244W
71. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the regulations on prices contained in S.I. 1949 No. 1927, and its amendment, are already causing a shortage in utility knitted goods: and whether he will further amend the order to deal with this situation.

Mr. Bottomley

As already announced, the maximum prices for some utility knitted goods will have to be increased because of the increased cost of raw cotton and wool. These prices are now under review.
