HC Deb 03 March 1936 vol 309 cc1172-3
20. Mr. H. G. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to compensate in any way British traders in Italy who have suffered heavy losses as a result of sanctions?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to a similar question by the hon. Member for Islington, East (Miss Cazalet) on 10th December last, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Would my right hon. Friend show as much sympathy for British traders in Italy as has already been shown to the inhabitants of Jugoslavia?
