§ 20. Sir C. HENRYasked the President of the Board of Trade what action it is proposed to take as regards firms in the United Kingdom whose branches have been placed on the Black List in any of His Majesty's Dominions; and, if the Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act, 1916, does not give the power to deal with such firms, if he proposes to introduce legislation in order to meet the situation?
Mr. ROBERTSThe Trading With the Enemy Amendment Act, 1916, provides for the winding up of business carried on wholly or mainly for the benefit of enemy subjects. If the question refers to businesses which a-re not so carried on I should be glad if the hon. Member would furnish me with particulars of the class of cases which he has in mind.
