Captain A. EVANSasked the President of the Board of Trade if Germany has decided to prohibit the importation of British coal; if so, how this decision affects the Anglo-German commercial treaty, and if the Government has any statement to make on the matter?
Sir P. CUNUFFE-LISTERThe import of coal into Germany has been subject to licence for a long time past. I have no reason to suppose that the German Government contemplate any action which would have the effect of reducing the amount of British coal imported into Germany.
