HC Deb 26 June 1916 vol 83 c534
72. Sir H. DALZIEL

asked the Secretary to the Treasury how many bonded warehouses used principally for ship stores in the United Kingdom are wholly or partly owned by or conducted for the benefit of alien enemies, their dependants, or natives of neutral countries?

Mr. MONTAGU

I am afraid I have no information on this subject. I should be glad to endeavour to obtain it for him, but all I could do would be to supply from the Customs records to the Board of Trade or the Homo Office a list of the warehouse keepers to whom bonding privileges have been granted. This list does not, of course, disclose the parties who are interested in the warehouses.
