HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 cc1656-7
43. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics was represented at the recent European Grain Conference; and whether any proposals were made at that conference for checking the export from Russia of grain produced, harvested, or otherwise handled by conscripted labour?

Mr. GILLETT

I have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. So far as I am aware no such proposals as are indicated in the second part of the question were discussed at the conferences.
