HC Deb 25 May 1916 vol 82 cc2257-8
5. Major HUNT

asked whether the Government has agreed to allow, or is considering an agreement to allow, the Americans to buy from the Germans 15,000 tons of dye-stuffs, or any less amount; and has the Government made any sort of agreement that dye-stuffs going from Germany to America shall not be stopped by the British Navy?

Sir E. GREY

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies returned on the 23rd instant to the questions asked by the hon. Members for Mid-Armagh and Great Yarmouth.

Major HUNT

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the last part of the question?

Sir E. GREY

I would refer the hon. Member to the previous replies given as late as two days ago, and if they do not cover the question then I will answer a further question.
