§ 75. Mr. JOWETTasked the hon. Member for the Oswestry Division, as representing the War Trade Department, if he will make arrangements to notify applicants for licences to export wool yarn whose applications have previously been declined when the embargo has been removed and their applications for licences may be resubmitted or whether, as an alternative, he will arrange to publish an announcement in the "Board of Trade Journal" whenever licences are again being issued after an interval during which they were not issued, in order to prevent forestalment by firms of exporters who have special facilities for obtaining early information of the decisions of the Department as to the issuing of licences?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMAN(representing the War Trade Department): The applications for licences for the export of wool in its various forms number about 400 daily, and it would, therefore, be impracticable to advise each applicant as to the circumstances which affect the grant or refusal of licences or the temporary holding up of applications, but such information on the subject as can be given is published in the "Board of Trade Journal." I may add that licences are now being granted for the export of wool yarn subject to certain conditions, of which the particulars were published in the "Board of Trade Journal" of 13th April, on pages 82 and 83.
