§ Sir W. RUTHERFORDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce and others to the difficulties created by ambiguous Orders from different Departments making the resumption of the export trade in iron and steel almost impossible; and what steps he proposes to take so as to facilitate the resumption of business under normal conditions?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMy right hon. Friend is not aware of any complaints having been made as to ambiguous Orders with regard to the export of iron and steel. As regards the latter part of the question, all restrictions on business, both in this and in other directions, are being removed as rapidly as circumstances will allow.
