Clothing Coupons (Coal Distribution)

27.

Mr. Touche
asked the President of the Board of Trade what provisions are  made for extra clothing coupons for persons engaged in the distribution of coal; and whether any improvement can be made in the present arrangements?

Mr. Dalton
Persons engaged in coal distribution received in the last rationing period 10 extra coupons. They will receive the same supplement in the present period. I regret that, owing to the shortage of supplies, I cannot see my way to increase this allowance.
