Sir Lambert Wardasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the difficulty of obtaining a licence to purchase an alarm clock; and, as there appear to be plenty of clocks but few licences, will he do something to facilitate the purchase of these clocks by people who require them.
§ Captain WaterhouseNo, Sir. As I said yesterday in answer to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Cheltenham (Mr. Lipson) all the clocks so far imported will be needed to meet the permits already issued by the Board of Trade.
