§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the traffic now going on from the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries in food and information to Germany, whether the Government will take away from ships of these countries all landing facilities for 904W their crews, and forbid them supplies except in regard to necessary fuel, having in regard the facts that they have no need for supplies of food since their own countries are so close and we have a real need to keep the supplies in this country?
Mr. ROBERTSThe crews of neutral vessels are only allowed to land by special permission of the aliens officers at the various ports. The supply of stores to neutral ships which trade to the United Kingdom is already regulated, and the question is now being considered whether it should not be further controlled.
