§ 18. Sir MURDOCH McKENZIE WOODasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware of the injury which is being done to British industrial interests by the trade rupture between this country and Russia; and whether any negotiations have been entered into Since the imposition of the Russian embargo, or are contemplated, with a view to the restoration of the former commercial relations?
§ Sir J. SIMONThe policy of His Majesty's Government in this matter has already been stated to the House, and the opportunity for negotiation indicated be the Soviet Government is still open.
§ Sir M. WOODMay I have an answer to the first part of my question?
§ Sir J. SIMONThat, I think, would perhaps be more properly addressed to the Board of Trade.
§ Sir M. WOODIs not the Foreign Office interested in the fact that this policy is causing injury to industrial interests in this country?
§ Sir ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUELHas not injury been caused to the sense of British justice and to the British people by what has been done to our people out there?
