HC Deb 23 November 1916 vol 87 c1584
97. Major HUNT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board of Trade propose to confiscate all profits from carrying on enemy businesses in this country during the War or to preserve such profits in the hands of the Public Trustee as trustee for the enemy and as security for the ultimate settlement of British claims against the enemy?

Mr. PRETYMAN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for the Tamworth Division on the 15th August, of which I am sending him a copy.
