HC Deb 22 May 1933 vol 278 c768W
Mr. L. SMITH

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has issued a warning, or will consider the issue of a warning, to British traders with North China and Manchuria indicating the extent to which trade is possible?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

It is not considered necessary to issue a warning on the lines suggested by my hon. Friend. But the Department of Overseas Trade is always prepared to answer inquiries from United Kingdom firms regarding trade with North China and Manchuria.
