HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c660
7. Commander Noble

asked the President of the Board of Trade in what circumstances visitors to this country desiring to purchase a motor car for export are required by his Department to produce an import licence issued by the other country.

Mr. H. Wilson

So far as the Board of Trade is concerned, "None, Sir."

Commander Noble

Is the President aware that certain motor companies insist on such a licence and that in some cases the country of destination does not require one? If I sent him details will he look into this matter?

Mr. Wilson

I have seen details of this practice which the hon. and gallant Gentleman was good enough to send to me, but it is being carried out by the motor companies and not by the Government.
