HC Deb 01 August 1923 vol 167 c1496W
Mr. SHINWELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that sulphate of ammonia for export from the Clyde is not being weighed and checked, and that sealed samples are no longer taken; and whether, since this is contrary to custom, he proposes to take action in the matter?

Viscount WOLMER

The official control of the export of sulphate of ammonia, which was instituted during the War, is now at an end. The export is, accordingly, subject only to the ordinary Customs Regulations, and I have no reason to think that these Regulations are not being observed. The hon. Member appears to be referring to certain trade arrangements, over which the Board of Trade have no control.
