Mr. Driberg
asked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the difficulties caused to the Associated Wafer Paper Companies, Limited, of Coggeshall, Essex, by the delay in issuing them with further import licences; and if, in view of the urgent demand for this commodity, he will expedite the necessary inquiries and the issue of licences.
Dr. Summerskill
Yes. The difficulties are known and action is being expedited. The application is for a larger amount of currency than we can agree to allot for wafer cups, but provision is being made for the firm's most pressing needs.
