66. Sir MERVYN MANNINGHAMBULLERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that, owing to the increased duties charged on British goods entering Denmark, the export of British boots and shoes to that country has practically been stopped; and whether, in view of the fact that Denmark has such a large balance in her favour of trade with this country, he will endeavour without delay to secure more favourable terms for imports from Great Britain?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEExports of boots and shoes from the; United King- 27 dom to Denmark have in the past five months been more than double the exports in the corresponding period a year ago. The question of the Danish import duty is not being lost sight of in the trade negotiations now proceeding.
