HC Deb 17 May 1933 vol 278 cc349-50
25. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many licences have been issued under Section 7 of the Ottawa Agreements Act; and whether it is possible for any person who has not previously imported meat to obtain a licence?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)

The number of licences issued under Section 7 of the Ottawa Agreements Act, 1932, is 17. Save in exceptional circumstances the issue of licences has been confined to importers who imported meat during the basic year referred to in the Ottawa Agreements.
