HC Deb 18 February 1924 vol 169 c1336W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the depressed condition of the herring fishing industry, which is largely due to the loss of the Russian market, His Majesty's Government is prepared to extend the export credits scheme to cover the export of herrings to Russia?

Mr. LUNN

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply given to-day by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for the Brigg Division of Lincolnshire (Sir B. Sheffield).
