§ Mr. Emeryasked the Minister of Supply whether he will now co-ordinate with the Board of Trade the release of controlled raw materials so that grants of priority and facilities of transport may enable export traders to quote firm prices and delivery dates as provided in paragraph 3 of Cmd. 6183; and is he aware that the indeterminate system of priority permissions now practised by the controls prevents traders accepting overseas business and will defeat the war effort to increase exports?
§ Mr. BurginEvery effort is made to ensure that export trade is not hampered by avoidable difficulties over raw materials, and the machinery of the controls is being brought into conformity, as rapidly as possible, with the policy outlined in the Command Paper to which my hon. Friend refers.
