§ Sir F. FLANNERYasked the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received reports of sacking marked "Portland Cement" having been found by British soldiers in German trenches in Flanders after capture; and whether the export of cement from this country to neutral countries will be prohibited?
Commander LEVERTON HARRISI would refer the hon. Member to the report of the Committee of Inquiry into the export of cement to Holland and, in particular, to paragraphs 10 and 13. I have no other information on this point. The export of cement is already prohibited, except under licence, to all neutral countries in Europe other than Spain.
