HC Deb 11 December 1934 vol 296 cc195-6
32. Mr. SALT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will endeavour to obtain a withdrawal by Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland of their enforcement of licence fees which are now levied upon British subjects visiting those countries as commercial travellers, since such licences tend to hinder our export trade and Great Britain enforces no similar impositions?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

Considerable modifications of these fees, advantageous to the United Kingdom, were secured in the commercial negotiations of last year with these countries, and I do not think that this question can be usefully reopened at present.
