HC Deb 08 February 1949 vol 461 c39W
85. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the President of the Board of Trade what duties will remain after 1st April for the Wool Control to perform; and whether it is now possible for this war-time body to be disbanded.

Mr. J. Edwards

The principal remaining duties of the Wool Control are rationing worsted yarn and ensuring the maximum production of cloth for export and a proper balance among the various types used at home. We are anxious to remove controls wherever possible, but I cannot yet say when the Wool Control will be wound up.
