§ 37. Mr. BOOTHBYasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he can make a statement on the recent trade mission to Poland; if he has yet received reports from the mission; and, if so, whether these reports indicate the possibility of increasing sales of British goods to Poland?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEThe delegates of the various industries represented on the mission have reported to the organisations by whom they were nominated. I have already received certain of these reports, and taken in conjunction with the information given to me by the chairman and the official members of the mission, I am glad to say that a number of possibilities are indicated whereby United Kingdom exports to Poland should be increased.
§ Mr. BOOTHBYCan the hon. and gallant Member say what the possibilities are with regard to herring?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEI cannot disclose the report, naturally, but I can say that the representatives of the industry have returned not unsatisfied with the prospects.
