§ Mr. Ecclesasked the President of the Board of Trade when the permission 234W given to British Railways to purchase crockery which has been distinguished by a mark or badge will be extended to other purchasers.
Mr. H. WilsonThe permission referred to by the hon. Gentleman goes back to 1942. The restrictions on the supply of marked or decorated pottery for the home market can only be relaxed when it is clear that this can be done without diverting labour from production for export.
