§ 72. Flying-Officer Bowdenasked the President of the Board of Trade, if he is aware that firms manufacturing polishing preparations for the export market are handicapped through the shortage of glass containers; and if he will instruct the glass manufacturers to give priority to firms who require containers for export trade.
§ Sir S. CrippsI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Cheltenham (Mr. Lipson), on 28th January, in which I explained that it is administratively impracticable to have a priority scheme for glass containers applicable to individual export orders.
