HC Deb 15 November 1939 vol 353 c716
74. Mr. M. Samuel

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps further to implement the trade barter agreement with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and, in particular, with regard to the securing of supplies of Russian flax?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

The question of obtaining flax from the Soviet Union will be borne in mind in any trade negotiations which may take place with that country.
