HC Deb 18 November 1930 vol 245 c214
9. Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he has taken with regard to the request he has received from the National Union of Farmers in Scotland for a boycott of Soviet wheat?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Mr. Johnston)

My right hon. Friend has received no request from the National Farmers' Union of Scotland on the subject of the boycott of wheat arriving from Russia.

Sir COOPER RAWSON

Have any of the trade unions protested against being compelled to handle goods manufactured by slave labour in Russia?

Mr. JOHNSTON

That obviously does not arise out of the question.
