HC Deb 18 November 1942 vol 385 c347
54. Mr. Hannah

asked the Minister of Supply whether he realises the serious delay and dislocation in industry caused by the present complicated methods of re placing ordinary machine belting; and will he take steps to expedite the process?

The Minister of Supply (Sir Andrew Duncan)

A direction which came into force on 2nd November simplified the procedure and enabled users to obtain belting in cases of urgency without a licence.
