HC Deb 19 April 1926 vol 194 c848
30. Mr. FORREST

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether his representatives abroad have forwarded to him any information tending to show the different arrangements now being made by sugar producers and exporters of the countries to sell their commodity on the British market; whether these Reports indicate any sale in this country at a price lower than that in the country of production; and whether he can more especially state what arrangements in this respect exist in Germany?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Burton Chadwick)

As regards the last part of the question, I am informed that arrangements with the same end in view are being made by German producers, but, so far as I am aware, have not yet been completed.
