HC Deb 13 June 1940 vol 361 c1410W
Mr. Cocks

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether allotment holders and others will be allowed to sell their surplus produce without possessing a trader's licence, which involves elaborate book-keeping?

Mr. Boothby

A general licence has been issued authorising the sale by retail of produce from gardens and allotments which are not carried on primarily for the purpose of gaining a livelihood. In those cases no trader's licence will be required. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of this general licence.
