HC Deb 05 December 1944 vol 406 c341
31. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in connection with the control of wool he will endeavour to simplify the procedure of his Department in the designation, classification and allocation of wool, with a view to enabling the trade to carry on their business more expeditiously.

Mr. Dalton

It is not quite clear to me what my hon. Friend has in mind; but, if he will give me particulars, I shall be glad to look into them.

Mr. De la Bère

Does the Minister appreciate that, in the opinion of the trade, most of their problems are due to the chaotic control of the Board of Trade?

Mr. Dalton

When they meet me, they place the blame elsewhere.

Mr. De la Bère

My right hon. Friend will hear more about it.
