HC Deb 02 March 1931 vol 249 c14
35. Mr. HANNON

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he will state the recent change which has taken place in Italian law relating to selling agents or representatives of foreign firms in that country; and if his Department will call the attention of British trade organisations to any obligations which the new law imposes upon them?

Mr. GILLETT

As regards the first part of the question I have no knowledge of any change in Italian legislation affecting the persons referred to; the second part of the question does not therefore arise.

Mr. HANNON

Will the hon. Gentleman have inquiries made to see if any change in this direction has taken place in Italian law, affecting our trade in Italy?

Mr. GILLETT

Inquiries were made when the hon. Member put down his question, and we have not been able to obtain any information.
