(2) what restrictions are at present placed on the export of industrial diamonds and diamond dies to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
§ Mr. BottomleyIndustrial diamonds and diamond dies may not be exported to a wide range of countries, including the U.S.S.R., without an export licence. Applications are considered on their merits.
