HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 cc2566-7W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the restriction of the import of photographs into this country from certain other countries has now been extended to all parts of the world except under special licence; that this is causing some dissatisfaction in art and literary circles, and can he see his way somewhat to modify the restriction?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The extension of the prohibition refers to the action taken on 1st March, when, as was announced some weeks before, a number of general licences were withdrawn in accordance with general policy, and in this case, as in others, the arrangements existing before the issue of the general licence was reverted to. These restrictions will now be reconsidered in common with other import restrictions in the manner which has already been announced.
