§ 97. Mr. KINGasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in the case of those persons who, though technically enemy aliens, are still of friendly race, such as Poles, Alsatians, Croats, and others, special facilities or permits are issued and are necessary for them to trade in England or for British subjects to trade with them; and whether, in the case of such persons who are relieved from internment, special provisions are required to allow them to continue their usual avocations?
§ Mr. PRETYMANNo special permission is necessary to enable a person of enemy nationality who is exempted from internment to carry on his business. Due consideration will be given to all the circumstances in applying the provisions of the Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act, 1916, to businesses belonging to such persons as are referred to in my hon. Friend's question.
