HC Deb 06 June 1945 vol 411 cc905-6W
Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to prevent the pre-war relationships that existed between certain British, French, Italian and German motor car manufacturers.

Captain Waterhouse

I do not know what relationships the hon. Member has in mind, but any dealings with, or for the benefit of, persons in Germany or Italy would be illegal unless authorised under the Trading with the Enemy Act.
