asked the President of the Board of Trade the imports of fondant during the first five months of 1951.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Imports of fondant were not separately recorded in the trade returns in 1951. But as I informed

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Yes. The Government have decided to stop imports from foreign countries of souvenirs suitable for use in connection with Her Majesty's Coronation.
