HC Deb 29 July 1931 vol 255 cc2257-8
57. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the difficulties recently experienced by British commercial houses doing business with Germany owing to the various financial restrictions in force in that country; and what steps have been taken, or are in contemplation, to assist British traders with Germany while in no way weakening the necessary measures taken by the German Government?

Mr. GILLETT (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

No difficulties of this nature have been brought to my notice, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will let me have any specific cases I will have them examined.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Will the hon. Gentleman look into the question of the important re-export trade in fruit to Germany, which is very much hampered?

Mr. GILLETT

Perhaps my hon. Friend will give me information.
