asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what raw materials and semi-manufactured components for the manufacture of electric motors have been imported into Germany during the last 12 months; how much has come from England; and how much has had to be paid for in U.S. dollars.

None, Sir.

Can the Minister say whether any imports will be permitted or not?

I do not know whether I can say that any imports will be permitted. The test which has to be considered by the bizonal authorities is whether any imports are really essential to the purposes of the occupation.
