HC Deb 14 December 1953 vol 522 c15W
80. Mr. Boardman

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will review the allocation of paper import licences to secure a distribution based on current conditions.

Mr. Amory

No. My right hon. Friend appreciates that the allocation of import licences for paper on the basis of past trade leads to difficulty in some cases, but he is satisfied that any other arrangement would lead to equal, if not greater, difficulties.
