HC Deb 10 March 1919 vol 113 c901
8. Mr. GEORGE THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will furnish a Return giving a list of those commodities, whether manufactured articles, raw materials, or foodstuffs, upon the import of which into this country any restriction is at present placed by the Government?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 25th February to the hon. Member for Silvertown, and also to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Newcastle East, on 5th March, of which I am sending him copies.

9. Mr. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has given an undertaking to a deputation which recently waited upon him to re-impose the embargo on the import of certain commodities at present allowed to be brought into this country without licence; and, if so, will he furnish a list of the commodities in regard to which he has given such undertaking?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer the hon. Member to the several questions and answers on this subject on the 24th February last. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of them. I propose to make a statement later.
