HC Deb 28 March 1935 vol 299 cc2076-7
51. Mr. LIDDALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Danish Government are refusing licences for the import of British goods by certain Danish importers and, as a result, the interests of British firms, notably Lincoln firms, and their workpeople are being prejudiced; and whether he will make representations protesting against this action of the Danish Government as a breach of either the spirit or the letter of the Danish Trade Agreement?

Dr. BURGIN

This matter has been engaging my attention for some time and a number of individual cases have been taken up with the Danish authorities. I am having inquiry made into the case to which my hon. Friend has drawn my attention and if he will furnish me with particulars of any similar cases which he has in mind, I will see that appropriate action is taken immediately.
