§ 40. Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the President of the Board of Trade why, when periodicals and magazines published in this country are allowed free entry into Eire, there is a ban on the importation of the Irish produced publication "Junior Digest."
§ Mr. H. WilsonOur general import policy on periodicals from all sources is governed primarily by balance of payments considerations. Licences to import periodicals from Eire are limited to those which had been imported before August, 1946, when the Open General Licence was revoked. "Junior Digest" was not published until December, 1946, and, in common with other new periodicals, cannot be licensed for import.
