§ Mr. Evelyn Walkdenasked the President of the Board of Trade whether licences have been issued to any manufacturers or their agents to export dried milk, milk products, and egg and milk products, during 1941 to Bermuda and other Colonies; and whether such foodstuffs are still being exported?
§ Captain WaterhouseSmall quantities of these products are being exported to territories whose essential requirements we are under obligation to provide. Licences are not required to export these goods from the United Kingdom to the Colonies, but imports are controlled in each Colony. Exports to other destinations require export licences, which are only issued after consultation with the Ministry of Food.
