HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 c11
17. Sir HENRY DALZIEL

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he hopes to introduce his new Bill dealing with enemy trading in this country?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The new Trading with the Enemy Bill is being drafted, but I am not yet able to fix a date for its introduction.

Sir H. DALZIEL

Will it be before the Adjournment—that was the promise?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

No, I was not aware that any promise was made that it would be before the Adjournment. It will be before the end of the Session. The draft is well forward.
