§ 77. Mr. Piratinasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the value of the raw wool material in a man's good quality utility suit; and what proportion in value of the whole suit this constitutes.
§ Mr. H. WilsonThe maximum price for the top utility suit in cloth 209F, the best utility worsted suiting, is £11 4s. 5d. (ready-made). The cost of the raw wool used in the manufacture of the cloth for this suit would be about 40s. to 45s., according to the type used. This represents 18 to 20 per cent. of the retail price of the suit.
