Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Trade and Commerce – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 22 January 1959.
Is the President of the Board of Trade aware that the word "slow" is an understatement even for the Board of Trade? Is he aware that on 2nd December last we learned that the scheme was in an advanced state of preparation in October, 1957? Is he also aware that on 19th June last, in answer to a Question from me, the right hon. Gentleman spoke about this national approvals board? Does he know how much longer we shall have to wait before we make a little progress?
