§ 18. Mr. Arthur Hendersonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, during his forthcoming visit, to Berlin, he will represent to the German Government the undesirability of the German trade department requiring a statutory declaration which has to be registered with the German Embassy here, by any British firm seeking to export goods to Germany to the effect that the control of the firm is non-Jewish, that there are no Jewish employés, and that there is no Jewish-owned capital in the firm?
§ Mr. StanleyI am not aware of the procedure referred to and have received no complaints in regard to it, but if the hon. Member will supply me with the information upon which the question is based, I will consider the matter further. I can say at once, however, that I would deprecate any requests addressed to firms in the United Kingdom by any foreign Government or its agents for information of this character.
