§ 45. Mr. Levyasked the Prime Minister whether the Government have considered the introduction of a system of rationing neutrals according to their domestic needs in certain imports as was done during the last war?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)As my hon. Friend is aware, the situation to-day is not entirely the same as it was during the last war. We have been able to make War Trade Agreements with a number of neutral countries and the question of supplementing these, where necessary, by rationing arrangements in regard to certain imports, is under consideration.
