§ Mr. R. S. HudsonAs I stated in reply to a question by the hon. Member on 15th November, my right hon. Friend has been in consultation with the British Pottery Manufacturers' Federation. He has now received a memorandum from the Federation, which he is carefully considering. This memorandum, I am glad to say, takes a hopeful view of prospects for the export trade. I am not quite clear what the hon. Member has in mind when he refers to the organisation of the home market.
