HC Deb 03 April 1940 vol 359 c153
27. Mr. Mander

asked the President of the Board of Trade what arrangements are being made by his Department to remove the restrictions on the transfer of currency from countries abroad to Great Britain, in view of the fact that this is an essential part of any development of our export trade?

Mr. R. S. Hudson (Secretary, Overeas Trade Department)

Arrangements with this object in view have been made with a number of countries, generally by negotiating payments or clearing agreements. Further arrangements will be made as occasion arises.
