HC Deb 16 December 1947 vol 445 c314W
79. Mr. Carmichael

asked the President of the Board of Trade the reason for the delay in issuing export licences to industrial and commercial concerns in Glasgow, resulting both in delay in delivery to customers abroad and a restricting of the work in the establishments concerned.

Mr. Belcher

Every effort is made to decide applications for export licences promptly and I am not aware that Glasgow traders have experienced any undue delay, but if my hon. Friend will let me have particulars of any cases that he has in mind I will make further inquiries.
