HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 c249W
47. Sir B. Janner

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there is now an embargo on the import of china and earthenware from this country into Jamaica; and what steps he is taking to seek to have this embargo removed.

Mr. Jay

There is no embargo. Imports of tableware from all sources are subject to import licensing, but our Trade Commissioner has reported that licences will be freely granted for fine bone china, and any tableware for sale to tourists from "in bond" shops. Licences are also currently issued for special hotel orders.
