HC Deb 24 April 1934 vol 288 c1544
45. Mr. MANDER

asked the Prime Minister whether consideration has been given by the Government and its technical advisers to the question of the possible application of an embargo on imports from an aggressor or treaty-breaking State as a general economic sanction under the League of Nations and Disarmament Convention?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

Yes, Sir. Consideration has naturally been given to the question, since the measure referred to is one of those contemplated in the Covenant of the League of Nations.
