HC Deb 28 June 1938 vol 337 cc1704-5
47. Mr. Liddall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why, in view of the fact that the ratio of purchase of Mexican products by Britain, as shown by the Board of Trade Return for the past three months, is as 11 to 3 of United Kingdom products exported to Mexico, an exchange clearing is not being set up to remedy the confiscation of British savings by the Mexican Government?

Sir J. Simon

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Tamworth (Sir J. Mellor) on 19th May, to which I cannot at.present add anything.
