Foreign Countries (Import Embargoes)

HC Deb 17 July 1947 vol 440 cc573-4

14. Mr. Lipson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what countries have placed an embargo on imports from this country.

Sir S. Cripps

No country has placed an embargo on all imports from the United Kingdom, but many countries control their imports from us and other countries by licence. Full details are published in each case, as they become known, in the "Board of Trade Journal."

Mr. Lipson

Is the President of the Board of Trade taking any action in such cases?

Sir S. Cripps

We naturally make representations in every case where we can.
