§ Mr. Nuttingasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will amend the paper control on boxes for hosiery exports in such a way as to make it possible for hosiery exporters to obtain sufficient boxes in the right size in advance of the receipt of orders from abroad.
§ Mr. H. WilsonEvery effort is made to provide board for boxes for hosiery or other export orders. Owing, however, to the shortage of supplies it is necessary to ensure that the board is required for exports in the licensing period in question, since otherwise it might not be possible to provide for all current export orders. If the hon. Member will let me have details of any particular case he has in mind, I will make inquiries.
