29. Miss Wardasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken to ensure that Coronation souvenirs, which are not produced in this country or the Commonwealth, are not distributed or put on sale in this country.
§ Mr. MackesonAn Order was made on 23rd June last year prohibiting, as from 27th June last, except under special licence, the import from foreign countries of souvenirs suitable for use in connection with Her Majesty's Coronation. A detailed definition of the goods affected is contained in the Order, a copy of which I am sending to my hon. Friend.
Miss WardThat is a very satisfactory state of affairs, but can my hon. Friend tell me whether that Order covers pencils, coloured red, white and blue and marked "Made in Germany," the importation of which has caused great annoyance to a number of people?
§ Mr. MackesonI should prefer my hon. Friend to put a Question on the Order Paper.
