§ Lieutenant - Colonel MOORE-BRABAZONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that many officers are purchasing optical and photographic goods in Germany and importing them as personal luggage into this country for resale; and, as trading with the enemy is still illegal, whether he will issue further orders to troops on this matter or have baggage searched, in view of the fact that the legitimate trader is seriously handicapped by the growth of this practice?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am not aware of this, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will give me details of specific cases, and the evidence which leads him to think the practice is as widespread as he suggests, I will consider the desirability of instituting inquiries into the matter.
