HC Deb 16 September 1914 vol 66 cc935-6
21. Sir JOHN HARMOOD-BANNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if it is the intention in all cases of appoint- ments of controllers, under Clause 3 of the Trading with the Enemy Bill, to appoint one person only, irrespective of either the desire or advice of any of the parties interested, and also irrespective of whether the property to be dealt with is in Scotland, Ireland, or the North, South, or West of England?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No Sir. There is no intention whatever to limit appointments of controllers under Clause 3 of the Trading with the Enemy Bill in the way suggested.
