HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 cc1129-30
52. Mr. William Shepherd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what changes in the import programme are contemplated for the second half of the year.

Sir S. Cripps

The import programme is now under consideration, in relation to the position under E.R.P. and I cannot yet say what, if any, changes will be required.

Mr. Shepherd

Is the Chancellor able to say when he will be able to make an announcement about the changes if they are to take place?

Sir S. Cripps

I am afraid I cannot say now.
