§ 32. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the President of the Board of Trade whether special consideration in respect of the issue of a licence will be shown to an invalided ex-Service man who returns to his native town and wishes to resume his previous business?
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Dalton)Yes, Sir. I gave instructions to this effect last year.
§ Sir L. LyleWill the right hon. Gentleman also use his utmost endeavour to do away with all similar vexatious controls in order that our freedom may be restored?
§ Mr. DaltonIt is necessary to maintain control in order to give preference to invalided ex-Service men. If the controls were done away with, they would stand a poor chance.
