HC Deb 10 March 1915 vol 70 cc1444-5W
Mr. BUTCHER

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many licences have been granted by the Board of Trade for importing into this country goods from the enemy; and whether, in view of the fact that the particulars of such licences are already known to the enemy, he will inform the House in respect of what goods such licences have been granted?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I cannot accept the statement made in this question, but I can add nothing to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Hereford on Monday last, in which reasons for withholding this information were given.
