HC Deb 13 May 1946 vol 422 cc141-2W
78. Mr. Erroll

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will re-examine the conditions of sale which form part of the Cotton Control's contract form and delete Clause 1.

Mr. Marquand:

The present form of contract was drawn up to meet the special circumstances of the war period, some of which still apply, especially the lack of suitable storage and sampling facilities. The conditions of sale including Condition 1 are being kept under review so that they may be modified where desirable as circumstances permit. It is a regular practice of the Control to make a proper allowance in any appropriate case.
