HC Deb 26 June 1947 vol 439 c85W
Colonel Ponsonby

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to remove the restrictions by which licences to import Jamaican cigars are still limited to traders on a quota basis of their prewar imports.

Sir S. Cripps

Yes. Though imports of Jamaican cigars are still restricted the quota has recently been increased, and it is now possible to allow the issue of licences to traders who did not import before the war.
