HC Deb 09 July 1918 vol 108 cc166-7
61. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it has been indicated to the dye-making concerns which are being amalgamated that the Government propose to grant licences for the after-war importation from Germany of such dyes as cannot be made in this country with the same skill or in the same quantities as in Germany; and, if so, will he state exactly what is proposed?

Mr. WARDLE

The intentions of the Government with regard to the control of importation of dyestuffs after the War were explained by my right hon. Friend in the statement which he made to the House on the 15th May last. I am sending a copy of this part of the statement to my hon. Friend.
