HC Deb 07 August 1916 vol 85 c648
10. Mr. RONALD McNEILL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will say what steps have been taken since the adoption by the Government of the Paris economic resolutions to unify the lists of contraband and of export prohibition; and what arrangements have been, or are being, made for prohibiting throughout the Empire in conjunction with our Allies the export of all commodities declared absolute or conditional contraband?

Lord R. CECIL

The list of goods declared to be contraband of war and of goods of which the export is prohibited are, so far as the British Empire is concerned, already co-extensive for all practical purposes. His Majesty's Government are in constant consultation with their Allies with the object of obtaining complete uniformity in these matters.
