HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 c289W
121. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Supply if he approved the statement of the Principal Assistant Secretary of his Department to the effect that some export targets were fixed phenomenally high; why such a miscalculation was made; what industries are affected; and when will the new targets be made known.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

The officer concerned was mis-reported and did not make a statement that export targets were fixed phenomenally high.
