HC Deb 13 December 1934 vol 296 cc542-3
40. Mr. MANDER

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he proposes to help traders in this country in view of the recent practice of the German Government in consenting to transactions between this country and Germany on the basis of exchange of goods and then withdrawing the consent to receive the British goods after the German goods have been despatchd, and insisting on cash for goods bought from Germany while payment for goods sold to Germany is held in the State bank?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I have no information as to the practice described by the hon. Member, but if he will let me have particulars of the transactions to which he refers I shall be glad to have the matter looked into.
