HC Deb 06 April 1894 vol 22 c1514
MR. HOLLAND (Salford, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether British traders may, under the Most Favoured Nation treatment, rely on receiving whatever advantages are conferred by the now Russo-German Commercial Treaty; and whether certificates of origin are still required in Russia for British goods?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

British traders are entitled under the existing Treaty between Great Britain and Russia to the benefits of the Russo-German Commercial Treaty. Certificates of origin are not now required by Russia except for a very few articles. Those are spirits and liqueurs, wines in bottle, preserved fish, lead and zinc. The new Regulations as to this will be published in full.
