§ 119. Wing-Commander Hulbertasked the President of the Board of Trade the number of looms which his Department have given permission to export during the next 12 months.
§ Sir S. CrippsLicences for the supply of textile machinery to a specified value are issued to individual manufacturers for six monthly periods from the time the particular manufacturer is ready to start a new production programme. It is not possible therefore to state the number of looms represented by these licences for a given period ahead, but deliveries of weaving machinery for export in the last quarter of 1945 were £125,000 in value as compared with deliveries to the home market of £298,000 in value.
