HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c598W
Captain Cox

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will adopt a favourable attitude in suitable cases, when ex-Servicemen apply for licences to trade and open up small businesses after their discharge from the Services.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir. As I have previously explained, licences under the Location of Retail Businesses Order are granted as a matter of course to ex-Servicemen who wish to resume their former retail businesses, and special consideration is given to applications from other disabled ex-Servicemen not formerly engaged in retail trade.
