HC Deb 21 February 1933 vol 274 cc1609-10W
Mr. HANNON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that assurances were given by the Danish Government, at the time of the Anglo-Danish Exhibition last year, that import licences would be issued in respect of goods ordered at the exhibition, and that special consideration would be given to British manufactures non-competitive with Danish manufactured goods when the import quotas were fixed, and the exchange restrictions were under review; and if he is satisfied that these assur- ances are being implemented by the Danish Government?

Dr. BURGIN:

I understand that a statement was issued on behalf of the Danish Government that every consideration would be given to orders booked during the exhibition, and I have no reason to suppose that this has not been done.
