HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1134
82. Mr. SAMUEL SAMUEL

asked the Prime Minister whether he can at an early date abolish the Government control of trade so far as imports and exports are concerned with a view to develop the industries and to cheapen the coat of food and to find employment for the men as they are demobilised?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The Prime Minister has asked me to answer this question. The whole matter has been receiving careful consideration for some time, and is now being specially examined under Cabinet direction.
