HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 cc118-9W
95. Lieut.-Colonel Hare

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is prepared to stop the export of polished plate glass until present domestic requirements are satisfied.

Mr. Marquand:

No, Sir. Exports of polished plate glass, both direct and in- direct, for example in motor vehicles for export, are too important to justify the drastic step suggested by the hon. and gallant Member; but I can assure him that the balance between home and export requirements is constantly under review.
