HC Deb 30 January 1934 vol 285 c174
2. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of imports from and exports to Russia from 1st December to the latest available date?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)

During the month of December, 1933, the total declared value of the imports into the United Kingdom of merchandise consigned from the Soviet Union amounted to £1,317,487. Exports to the Soviet Union amounted to £216,244, including re-exports valued at £82,941.

5. Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if an export quota has now been agreed with Russia under the wheat convention?

Dr. BURGIN

No, Sir, but I understand that the matter is still under discussion between the Soviet Union and the four major exporting countries.

Mr. WHITE

In the event of an agreement not being made with Russia on this point, will the other parties to the Convention still remain bound?

Dr. BURGIN

I am afraid that I shall have to ask for notice of that question.
