HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 c227W
154. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the export of soft soap from Nigeria is prohibited.

Mr. Creech Jones

The export of soap from Nigeria is controlled by licence. As the quantity of soap produced locally is less than that required for domestic consumption, export is permitted only in exceptional cases, particularly for the other West African Colonies and for ships' stores.
