§ Mr. NIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will publish the list of firms trading in this country influenced by German capital of which the Public Trustee has official cognisance as supervisor or in any other official capacity, in order that the public may be made aware of the character of the firms with whom they deal?
Mr. RUNCIMANAs at present advised I do not propose to publish a list of firms with German capital, but legislation will shortly be introduced to confer further powers upon the Board of Trade to take steps in suitable cases to prevent the continuance of businesses carried on for the benefit of enemies.
