63. Mr. Ralph Etherton

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he can give an assurance that the conditions attached to any licence issued by him under the provisions of paragraph 3 of the Emergency Powers (Defence) Civilian Clothing Order (S.R. & O., No. 6, of 1944) will not involve any discrimination between one trader and another.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir. Any licence under this Order would be issued only to meet some special demand of the consumer.
