M. ALFRED T. DAVIES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been directed to the reported concessions for rebuilding at Moscow granted by the Soviet Govern- ment to the British Beecham Trust; and whether information of further possible concessions of value to British traders and investors in Russia will be announced without delay to stimulate and aid British enterprise?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, any necessary steps will be taken by the Department of Overseas Trade to bring to the notice of British traders information as to possible concessions which may be reported to the Department.
