HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c838
51. Major HUNT

asked the Prime Minister why, in view of the fact that trade is prohibited with persons and firms of enemy nationality or association, whose names are given, in Morocco, Portuguese East Africa, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Chili, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Japan, the Dutch East Indies, Persia, Denmark, Greece, Holland, Norway, Spain, and Sweden, the same principle is not applied in America and this country?

Mr. HARCOURT

The statutory list for the United States of America is in course of preparation and will be published shortly. Enemy firms in this country are dealt with by supervising or winding up the businesses under the powers contained in the Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act, 1916.
