§ 3. Mr. A. V. ALEXANDERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed unanimously at a meeting of the fish trade at Yarmouth, on Saturday, 10th November, to the effect that no substantial or permanent improvement in the industry could be secured except by the reopening of the Russian market, and demanding that the British Government take steps to facilitate trading relationships with Russia; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?
Mr. WILLIAMSI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on 14th November to the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Sir R. Hamilton), a copy of which I am sending him.
§ Mr. ALEXANDERI have seen the answer. Is not the Parliamentary Secretary aware that in the past we have done a pretty considerable business with these people and that the organisation with which I am connected has done a great deal of business without, losing money? Cannot outside trade be encouraged by means of credit, and create a better market for British fisheries?
