§ 60. Mr. Dribergasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the food situation in Germany and the small total quantity of seeds involved, he will consider issuing, through the commandants of prisoner of war camps, or otherwise, export licences which will enable German prisoners to include limited quantities of vegetable seeds in the parcels they send home.
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Harold Wilson)I am prepared to issue export licences in these cases, and I am examining with my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Agriculture, the question whether the supply position would enable the requirement of an export licence to be waived.
§ Mr. DribergWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for his forthcoming attitude, may I ask him to bear in mind the small and decreasing amount which would be required, as the men are going home?
