HC Deb 27 June 1944 vol 401 cc584-5
4. Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare whether he can now make a statement on the results of negotiations regarding exports of ball bearings from Sweden to Germany.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare (Mr. Dingle Foot)

The negotiations in question were with the Swedish S.K.F. Company. An understanding was reached regarding the Company's export policy. For obvious reasons the details cannot be disclosed.

Mr. Edwards

Is the Parliamentary Secretary satisfied that he has put a stop to the delivery of these ball-bearings to Germany?

Mr. Foot

I did not say that. I do not think that I can add to the answer I have given.
