§ Captain Coxasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will adopt a favourable attitude in suitable cases, when ex-Servicemen apply for licences to trade and open up small businesses after their discharge from the Services.
§ Mr. DaltonYes, Sir. As I have previously explained, licences under the Location of Retail Businesses Order are granted as a matter of course to ex-Servicemen who wish to resume their former retail businesses, and special consideration is given to applications from other disabled ex-Servicemen not formerly engaged in retail trade.
