HC Deb 02 February 1931 vol 247 c1452W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department, if he can provide a statement showing what special measures have been adopted during the past 18 months for the encouragement of British trade overseas?

Mr. GILLETT

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the question put by the hon. Member for Torquay (Mr. C. Williams) on 26th January of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.

Mr. BRACKEN

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he can give the House a list of orders which His Majesty's Government have obtained for British traders?

Mr. GILLETT

My Department are constantly assisting British exporters to secure business in markets abroad, but I am afraid it would not be practicable to submit such a list as is asked for by the hon. Member.
