§ Mr. Monroasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consultations he has had with textile manufacturers concerning the change of system for export documentation; and how he expects it to assist manufacturers with the speedy dispatch of orders.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonCustoms and Excise are conducting a feasibility study of possible changes in the system of export documentation. In the course of this a number of textile manufacturers have already expressed their views. Representatives of wool textile exporters will also be meeting Customs and Excise officials. No decisions have been taken, and it would be premature at this stage for me to comment on the nature of possible changes.
