§ 21. Mr. GEORGE HALLasked the Secretary for Mines the names of 207 European countries which give financial or other assistance to coal exported from those countries, and the value per ton of such assistance given in each case?
§ Captain CROOKSHANKThe European countries which give financial or other assistance to their coal exports are, so far as I am aware, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Poland and Turkey. I regret that I have not sufficient data available to answer the second part of the question.
§ Captain CROOKSHANKI will consider that. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will have a word with me about it.
§ Sir JOSEPH NALLIs my hon. and gallant Friend in touch with the Board of Trade on this question with a view to getting adjustments of trade agreements?
§ Captain CROOKSHANKMy hon. and gallant Friend forgets that I am part of the Board of Trade.
§ Sir J. NALLFor that very reason, will my hon. and gallant Friend get into touch with the trade agreement Department of the Board of Trade?
