HC Deb 01 March 1932 vol 262 cc937-8
35. Mr. DONNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that the Government has no power to take discriminatory action against abnormal importations from any one country, he will consider requesting Parliament for the necessary powers to enable him to check the volume of goods exported from the Soviet Union into the United Kingdom and sold at a price that is not economic?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

As I have already informed the House, the question of trade with Soviet Russia is at present receiving special consideration.
