HC Deb 17 November 1930 vol 245 c55W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the statement recently made before the Economic Committee of the League of Nations, he will take into consideration the decrees of the French Government against Soviet dumping and consider taking similar steps to protect British industry?

Mr. GILLETT

I have nothing to add to the replies which were given to questions asked by the hon. Member for Kingston-on-Thames (Sir G. Penny) and the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood) on 3rd and 4th November respectively.

Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, in view of the fact that the currency in Soviet Russia in the period 1st April to let September has been increased at the rate of 155 per cent. per annum, whether it is intended to issue any cautionary notice to British banks and traders doing business with Soviet Russia?

Mr. GILLETT

No, Sir. Information as to the amount of currency in circulation is already published in English by the State Bank of the Soviet Union.
