HC Deb 09 July 1931 vol 254 c2287W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether the reports from his representatives indicate a recovery of British trade in any parts of the world; and, if so, which?

Mr. GILLETT

I am afraid the reports do not indicate any definite signs of the immediate recovery of United Kingdom trade in oversea markets.
