HC Deb 04 July 1944 vol 401 c982
6. Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade what cases have in recent time been brought to his notice of hindrances being put in the way of British trade in neutral countries; and whether commercial attaches have been instructed to report all such cases immediately.

Mr. Dalton

None, Sir, Generally speaking, neutral countries are anxious to import from us far more than we can spare, having regard to our own needs and those of Empire and Allied Countries, which are dependent upon us for supplies.
