Sir J. HARMOOD-BANNER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in respect of negotiations by British subjects for the sale of British properties in Russia to Russian subjects, the Board of Trade will require detailed particulars of the properties and names of purchasers, together with the particulars and conditions of sale, submitted to them before permission can be obtained to conclude the deal?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The hon. Member may rest assured that in any case in which the permission of the Board of Trade is necessary, full particulars will be required by the Department before a decision is taken.
