HC Deb 27 February 1917 vol 90 cc1842-3
35. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the necessity to amend the Trading With the Enemy Act, 1916, so as to have the power to wind-up or vest the shares in the custodian for the purpose of sale those firms in the United Kingdom whose branches in the Colonies have been wound-up or placed on the black list?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. G. Roberts)

I will consider whether any extension of the powers contained in the Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act, 1916, is desirable.
