§ 46. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister whether the State Department at Washington has removed trade restrictions between the United States and Soviet Russia; and whether His Majesty's Government will place British merchants on the same footing as American merchants by removing trade restrictions between this country and Soviet Russia?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIn reply to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for 2376 East Leyton on the 13th instant; the answer to the second part of the question is dependent on the result of the trade negotiations with the Russian Delegation.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDoes the right hon. Gentleman not see that while we are dawdling with this question the Americans and other neutral countries are capturing the markets?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWNo, I do not see that.
