§ 77. Sir W. Smithersasked the President of the Board of Trade why, in Form T.C.3/8/CPL to be completed in triplicate, the green and pink copies omit sections vii and viii which appear on the buff form.
§ Mr. BelcherThese particular sections of the form are for use by the consumer and the supplier after the licence has been granted. Since the green and pink copies are retained for official use there is no object in printing these sections on them.
§ Sir W. SmithersCan the hon. Gentleman say how anyone can comply with the requirements to fill up a form in triplicate, if the forms are not identical?
§ Mr. BelcherThey will fill up the form in triplicate in so far as it is possible for them to do so. If, on two sections of the form, there is no question asked, it is impossible for an answer to be given.
§ Sir W. SmithersIs it not a trap being laid; and who but a Socialist bureaucrat would be responsible for such a farcical procedure?
