HC Deb 25 June 1940 vol 362 c280
8. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Economic Warfare the position with regard to the passage of supplies through Vladivostock destined for Germany?

The Minister of Economic Warfare (Mr. Dalton)

I informed the hon. Member for Bilston (Mr. Hannah) on 22nd May that there had recently been a decline in the import of war materials through Vladivostock. According to my latest information, this decline has continued. I am, however, still keeping a constant watch on this traffic.

Mr. Mander

Will the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance that he is co-operating in the closest possible manner on this subject with his hon. and learned Friend His Majesty's Ambassador to Moscow?

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir, I can readily give that assurance. This is, of course, one of the matters which my hon. and learned Friend will already have raised with the Soviet authorities.
