HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 c1060W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster on what authority the South Eastern Area Wholesale Meat Supply Association are refusing to grant licences to a trader who produced an average of 12 cwt. of manufactured meats each week during 1938 on the grounds that the premises were not registered under the Factories Act, 1937?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln (Mr. Liddall) on nth October. As was stated on that occasion, we are anxious to give consideration to any case in which the restriction appears to involve genuine hardship. If my hon. Friend has any such case in mind, I shall be pleased to make inquiries into it.
