§ 83. Mr. SUTCLIFFEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the new import regulations of Jugoslavia, under which the importation of British goods is cut down to one-third and the payment for British goods already delivered is practically stopped; whether he is aware of the effect of this upon Lancashire trade; and whether, in view of the balance of mutual trade which is in favour of Jugoslavia, he proposes to take any action to protect our interests?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am aware of the regulations to which my hon. Friend refers and of their effect on United Kingdom trade. Representations have been made to the Yugoslav Government, and the matter is still under discussion.
§ Mr. CROSSLEYIs my right hon. Friend aware that this really represents discrimination in Yugoslavia as between British imports and German imports?
