HC Deb 26 October 1943 vol 393 c35W
Mr. Mainwaring

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps to make it illegal for any British firm to enter into any agreement or commitments with firms operating from other countries without prior knowledge and consent of the Board of Trade?

Mr. Dalton

This is one of a number of suggestions which have been made for dealing with this question, and my hon. Friend may rest assured that it is receiving careful consideration.
