HC Deb 05 August 1925 vol 187 c1379W
Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the unemployment prevailing in engineering and machine construction industries, he will reconsider the advisability of granting export credits to those British firms who are willing to undertake contracts with the Soviet Government of Russia for the supply of machinery of various descriptions?

Mr. SAMUEL

I can add nothing to the answer which was given by the Prime Minister to the hon. Member for the Western Isles (Mr. Livingstone) on the. 1st April on the subject of trade with Russia.
