80. Sir W. Smithers

asked the President of the Board of Trade if his attention has been called to the decision of the Swedish Government to stop all imports except necessities under licence; and if His Majesty's Government will adopt the same policy for Britain.

Sir S. Cripps

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes, Sir." His Majesty's Government have, with certain exceptions, followed a similar policy for a long time.
