HC Deb 04 November 1946 vol 428 c166W
16. Mr. King

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will, for the present, prohibit the export of roofing tiles in view of the shortage of them which exists in this country in general and in particular in the county of Dorset.

Mr. Marquand

Yes, Sir. Roofing tiles were made subject to export licence on 21st October. So long as the present shortage continues, licences for the export of these goods will not normally be issued.
