HC Deb 07 April 1930 vol 237 c1745
25. Mr. A. M. SAMUEL

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether his Department has on its own initiative yet made arrangements either to set on foot negotiations for bringing together British manufacturers and Danish exporters who send their products to Britain or, alternatively, to send a trade mission to Denmark?

Mr. GILLETT

Yes, Sir; my Department have brought the importance of the Danish market to the notice of British manufacturers. The question of the desirability of sending a trade mission to Denmark is under consideration.

Mr. SAMUEL

Can the hon. Gentleman take any steps to set up a conference between himself and representatives of the Danish exporters, and is he not aware that there is a good deal of Anglo-Danish trade awaiting development?

Mr. GILLETT

The matter has been under my own personal attention and is still.
