HC Deb 01 November 1934 vol 293 cc375-6W
Mr. HALES

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that from 1st November, 1934, to 1st February, 1935, no further licences are being issued by the Dutch Government for the importation of British pottery into Holland; and, having regard to the serious injury caused thereby to the British pottery industry, if he will take the necessary steps in the matter to bring about the removal of this restriction?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

A number of complaints have been received of difficulty in obtaining the issue of licences for the importation of pottery and certain other goods from this country into the Netherlands and the matter has already been taken up with the Netherlands authorities.
