HC Deb 22 February 1916 vol 80 c584W
Colonel YATE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the countries requiring consular invoice certificates, certificates of origin, and legalisation of bills of lading, respectively, for goods sent from this country, and the various fees charged for the same by each country?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The compilation of the required information and the preparation of a return giving particulars for all the countries of the world would involve an amount of labour that I am not prepared to impose upon the officials of my Department at the present time.
