HC Deb 27 June 1916 vol 83 cc699-700
3. Sir J. HARMOOD-BANNER

asked whether all British Ministers in neutral countries have been instructed to notify British traders in those countries that the Government's policy of commercial reprisals against alien enemies in neutral countries, as formulated in the Trading with the Enemy (Extension) Act, is to be regarded as continuous and will not terminate on the declaration of peace?

Sir E. GREY

This question will receive careful consideration in connection with the recommendations of the Paris Conference.
