HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 c780
72. Flying-Officer Bowden

asked 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. Cripps

I 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.
