HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 c1693
66. Colonel Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that, under existing regulations, manufacturers are not allowed to send abroad samples of any size without first obtaining a CD3 form from the Export Permits Division of the Bank of England; that these forms cannot be obtained direct and that from one to three weeks' delay is involved in obtaining them; and whether, in view of the importance of doing everything to facilitate the export trade, this formality can now be dispensed with.

Mr. Dalton

These forms can be obtained from any bank, or Customs officer, or from the Bank of England, and completed applications are cleared by the Bank of England within 24 hours. They are necessary to make sure that all exports, other than bona fide samples, are paid for.
