HC Deb 24 April 1934 vol 288 cc1528-9
17. Dr. HOWITT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that during the year 1933 Russian timber to a value of £500,000 has been shipped to this country via Finland and sold as genuine Finnish timber; and whether he is taking such steps as may be necessary to prevent this occurring in the future?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which was given yesterday to the hon. Member for Kensington South (Sir W. Davison), of which I am sending him a copy.
