HC Deb 11 July 1950 vol 477 c89W
65. Captain Orr

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider raising the making-up ceiling price of Cotton Utility 3057 to a higher figure than that for Spun Rayon Utility 1006, in order to make the export of the former cloth a practical possibility.

Mr. Bottomley

If, as I assume, the hon. and gallant Member is referring to the maximum price for utility dresses made from utility cotton cloth X3057, the answer is "No." It is not proposed to raise the maximum prices for utility dresses made from utility cotton cloths by reason of the relationship between prices for those cloths and prices for other fabrics.
