HC Deb 20 June 1935 vol 303 cc557-8
75. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in connection with trade negotiations with Brazil, it is proposed to take steps to secure a more effective preference for South African oranges, in view of the undue competition South African oranges experience in the United Kingdom market from Brazilian oranges?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Trade negotiations with Brazil are not in contemplation at the present time. As regards action on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend, I would refer him to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Moseley (Mr. Hannon) on 4th June.
