HC Deb 17 July 1941 vol 373 c725
36. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to make some provisional announcement regarding the policy of the Government for an increased economic co operation between this country, the Dominions and America?

Mr. Harcourt Johnstone (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I am glad to say that economic co-operation is steadily developing, and His Majesty's Government, and no doubt the Dominion Governments also, look forward to its becoming closer still.
