§ 10. Mr. CHORLTONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can say from the last consular reports from Manchukuo if there are indications that British trade may be expected to materially increase in the near future?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir John Simon)I am informed that the consular reports do not give such definite indications as would justify a useful prophecy.
§ Mr. CHORLTONCan the right hon. Gentleman not obtain some information relative to these trade problems?
§ Sir J. SIMONThere is information of a statistical character in the Consular reports which we receive from time to time. If my hon. Friend cares to put himself into communication with me, I will give him any information that I can.
