§ Mr. HANNONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can make a statement on the extent to which the introduction of the quota system in Germany in relation to imports of goods from this country has affected British export trade; and if any arrangement is contemplated with the Government of the Reich to secure better treatment for British goods in the German market?
§ Sir J. SIMONHis Majesty's Government are now examining the extent to which the export of goods from this country is likely to be affected by the early introduction of a quota system in Germany, designed to protect certain branches of that country's agricultural production. His Majesty's Government will further consider in the light of that examination what action may be necessary for the protection of British trade.
