A PROCLAMATION
PROHIBITING TRADING WITH CERTAIN PERSONS, OR BODIES OF PERSONS,
OF ENEMY NATIONALITY OR ENEMY ASSOCIATION,
GEORGE R.I.
WH
THEREAS by the Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915, it is enacted that We may, by Our Royal Proclamation, prohibit all persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the United Kingdom, from trading with any persons or bodies of persons even though not resident or carrying on business in enemy territory or in territory in the occupation of the enemy (other than persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincor- porated, residing or carrying on business solely within Our Dominions) wherever by reason of the enemy nationality or enemy association of such persons or bodies of per- sons, incorporated or unincorporated, it appears to Us expedient so to do:
And whereas by Our Proclamations of the 29th day of February and the 26th day of April, 1916-called the Trading with the Enemy (Statutory List) Proclamations, 1916 -We prohibited persons and bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business or being in the United Kingdom, from trading as therein mentioned with certain persons mentioned in the List issued with Our Proclamation of the 29th day of February, 1916:
And whereas under the power in that behalf given by Section 1, sub-section (2) of the said Act variations in and additions to such List have been made by subsequent Orders of Council :
And whereas it is desirable to restate and consolidate the prohibitions contained in such former Proclamations and to consolidate the List issued with Our Proclamation of the 29th day of February, 1916, with the variations therein and additions thereto made by such subsequent Orders of Council and for that purpose to revoke such Proclama- tions, and to substitute this Proclamation therefor :
And whereas it appears to Us expedient to prohibit all persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the United Kingdom, from trading with any of the persons or bodies of persons mentioned in the list hereunder written, by reason of the enemy nationality or enemy association of such last-mentioned persons or bodies of persons:
Now, therefore, We have thought fit, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, to issue this Our Royal Proclamation declaring, and it is hereby declared, as follows:
1. The Proclamations of the 29th day of February (with the variations and additions made to the List therein contained by subsequent Orders of Council), and the 26th day of April, 1916--called the Trading with the Enemy (Statutory List) Proclamations, 1916 are hereby as from the date hereof revoked and from the date hereof this Proclamation is substituted therefor.
2. All persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the United Kingdom are hereby pro- hibited from trading with any of the persons or bodies of persons mentioned in the list hereunder written, which list, with such variations therein or additions thereto as may be made by any Order made by the Lords of the Council on the recommendation of a Secretary of State under the power in that behalf given by Section 1, sub-section (2) of the Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915, shall be called, and is hereinafter referred to as, the Statutory List, and the Statutory List hereunder written shall as from the date hereof supersede
