HC Deb 03 November 1937 vol 328 cc944-5W
Mr. Mainwaring

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any modification has recently been made by Germany in regard to the compensative mark and other methods of financing her foreign trade?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

The German Central Foreign Exchange Office has recently issued an order terminating certain arrangements for what is known as compensating business. I am not aware of any recent modification of other methods which Germany uses for the financing of her foreign trade.
