HC Deb 04 December 1951 vol 494 c219W
Mr. S. Marshall

asked the President of the Board of Trade, when he thinks it possible to allow more quantities of decorated table chinaware to be available to the home market.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I am sorry to say that I see no prospect of releasing decorated china and earthenware for sale on the home market, since this could only be done at the expense of our exports. My hon. Friend will know that certain quantities of export rejects and frustrated exports are already available.
