§ Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any progress has been made in the arrangement and issuing of licences for the export of malt in order to avoid the delay which accrues under the present system?
§ Mr. BECKThe delay has been due, not to the arrangements for the issue of licences, but to the necessity of considering the question of policy involved. It is hoped that a decision will be arrived at in the near future.
