§ 11. Mr. R. Gibson (for Mr. Sorensen)asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will make a statement respecting the effect of recent events in Mexico on British trade with that country; and what representations he has received from British companies with interests in Mexico?
Mr. StanleyI am afraid it is not possible to make any statement about the probable effects of recent events in Mexico on Anglo-Mexican trade. Representations have been received by the Foreign Office and the Board of Trade from companies concerned with oil, but I have not received any representations with regard to other trade with Mexico.
§ Mr. GibsonWill the right hon. Gentleman communicate with the United States Government in connection with this matter?
Mr. StanleyMy hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs answered a number of questions on that subject the other day. Questions of that character should be addressed to the Foreign Office.
