HC Deb 01 December 1925 vol 188 cc2017-8
9. Sir NICHOLAS DOYLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has received any complaints as to the action of the Soviet Government in marketing in this country produce of the confiscated oil products of British subjects for which no compensation has been paid; and whether he intends to take any steps to stop this practice in view of the damage it inflicts upon view of the damage it inflicts upon British industrial interests in other countries?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; as regards the second part I have no power to prohibit the trade in question.
