HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 c118W
Mr. Dodds

asked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the fact that two out of three nylon stockings sold in this country are rejects and unsuitable for export, what action he proposes to take to prevent the widespread exploitation in the sale of seconds and thirds.

Mr. H. Wilson
