HC Deb 08 February 1949 vol 461 c41W
93. Mr. Orr-Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade why no mended bags or sacks may be exported from this country to Germany.

Mr. J. Edwards

I assume the Question refers to jute bags. The need for mended jute bags for essential purposes in this country is so great that export is only possible in very exceptional cases, whether the destination is Germany or anywhere else.
