All licences, with the exception of two, were issued subject to the condition that the value of the stockings imported was not less than 50/- per dozen. The two licences, which were issued as an exceptional matter and to which this condition did not apply, related to small consignments, the price of which was slightly under 50/- per dozen pairs after the deduction of the trade discount.
