Captain Duncanasked the President of the Board of Trade on what date France was regarded as an enemy country for the purpose of the Custodian of Enemy Property Order; and on what date she ceased to be so regarded.
§ Mr. DaltonThe whole of metropolitan France had become enemy territory as from 10th July, 1940. Before this date those parts of France were enemy territory which were actually occupied by the enemy. Areas of France have ceased to be regarded as enemy territory from the dates on which they have been 1251W liberated, except for the limited purposes described in Regulation 6 of the Defence (Trading with the Enemy) Regulations.
