HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1723
10. Captain W. BENN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give a list of persons to whom, in the course of this year, licences have been granted for the export of munitions, stating in each case what was the destination of the goods in question?

Sir R. HORNE

As the number of licences issued amounts to several hundred, a very large proportion being for export to British possessions, and for single weapons, such as sporting guns, revolvers, etc., I fear it is not feasible to take the course suggested by the hon. and gallant Member.

Captain BENN

I presume the right hon. Gentleman will have no objection to the list of licensed exporters being inspected?

Sir R. HORNE

None whatever.
