HC Deb 15 November 1945 vol 415 c2510W
Mr. Naylor

asked the President of the Board of Trade what restrictions there are on the manufacture in Great Britain, and on imports from abroad, of the class of automatic machines used in what are described as amusement saloons.

Sir S. Cripps

The manufacture of amusement machines of the kind which my hon. Friend has in mind is subject to licence. Licences have been granted in cases which have been justified by the local employment situation and the prospects of export. The great bulk of production is for export. No importation of these machines is being permitted.
