HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 c1536
61. Sir THOMAS ESMONDE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if vegetable parchment and certain papers are indispensable to creameries in connection with their butter trade; and if he will take their case into consideration in connection with the proposed restriction of the paper import?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am aware of the requirements of the butter trade in the matter of grease-proof paper, but I cannot see my way to exempt paper for this purpose from the restriction which it has been found necessary to impose upon imports of paper of all descriptions.
