HC Deb 12 March 1918 vol 104 c148
1. Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Committee now sitting in connection with the export of cement to Holland has sent an expert to Holland to inquire on the spot as to the destination with regard to cement ex ported to Holland?

The MINISTER of BLOCKADE (Lord Robert Cecil)

As I have not yet received the Committee's Report, I am unable to say what steps they have taken in the course of their inquiries.

General CROFT

When is the Committee likely to report, and will the Noble Lord ask if such a representative has been sent to Holland?

Lord R. CECIL

I do not think that it would be a very convenient form to ask about the proceedings of the Committee until it has reported, when it can be seen what steps should be taken. I understand that the Report is likely to be presented very shortly.
