HC Deb 22 November 1949 vol 470 c26W
87. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the President of the Board of Trade why it is open to consumers of veneers to purchase from France without restriction but not to purchase stocks lying in British warehouses without a consumer's licence.

Mr. J. Edwards:

The Control of Timber No. 52 Order, which took effect yesterday, puts an end to the control over the consumption of veneers.
