HC Deb 18 March 1948 vol 448 cc265-6W
57. Mr. Longden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the decision made by the Hercules Cycle Company of Birmingham, to reduce the costs on the finer grades of cycles for export, he can give the extent of such response to his appeal throughout the country to date.
