HC Deb 26 June 1941 vol 372 c1153

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

Mr. Rhys Davies

I communicated with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade some time ago upon the subject of the sale of quotas between one trader and another. I would like to know whether the Clause deals with a matter of that sort.

Captain Waterhouse

No quota may be transferred without a licence from the Board of Trade. We know that there are abuses, but we are anxious to prevent them, and we are doing so to an increasing extent. Clearly, however, such a thing does not come under the Clause.

Question, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill," put, and agreed to.

Clause 11 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
