§ 68. Mr. A. M. SAMUELasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether his efforts to increase Anglo-Danish trade have met with any success; and what steps he has already taken about this trade and with whom?
§ Mr. GILLETTWith regard to the first part of the question, I fear it is too early to return a definite answer in the affirmative. The answer to the second part is that my Department has been in communication with the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, Federation of British Industries, and the 627 National Union of Manufactures. His Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen has also been in communication with various Danish bodies.
§ Mr. SAMUELIs not this a matter in which the Minister might take a vigorous initiative and get for us some considerable amount of trade as a result of his own efforts?
§ Mr. GILLETTI have already done something, but upon the information that I have before me at the present time I do not consider that I can do more at the present moment.
