HC Deb 01 April 1946 vol 421 c113W
79. Major Symonds

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider decentralising the work of the Utility Furniture Office, Southport, to the extent of empowering local authorities to issue up to an agreed number of permits and dockets to qualified applicants, without prior reference to his Department.

Mr. Belcher:

No, Sir. This would not be practicable.
