HC Deb 27 June 1918 vol 107 c1247W
Mr. FIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has finally decided that information under Form K is to be exclusively distributed to two selected organisations in the United Kingdom or whether, in view of the fact that such information should receive, under such conditions as may appear necessary, the widest possible circulation, he will arrange for organisations who can prove or have proved their representative character to be recognised for the purpose?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The organisations which have been selected as channels for the dissemination of Form K Commercial Information Reports are, in my opinion, sufficiently representative of the export trade of the country, and their membership sufficiently extensive, to ensure the widest circulation, consistent with the desire to avoid duplication.
