HC Deb 07 October 1941 vol 374 c853W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that in the "Board of Trade Journal" for August, in the list of the new import restrictions affecting Trinidad, certain specific soaps are mentioned by name, though no one article is so advertised; and whether this differential treatment was approved after consulting the Colonial Office?

Captain Waterhouse

I understand that the detailed list in question was not referred to the Colonial Office before it was published in Trinidad. It has since been superseded by a list which does not specify any soaps by their trade names. The revised list will shortly be published in the "Board of Trade Journal."
