§ Mr. HEPWORTHasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the adverse trade balance in trade with Holland has risen from £6,500,000 in 1933 to £9,000,000 in 1934; and whether, in view of the fact that British exports to Holland are at present drastically limited by the quotas imposed thereon, he proposes to take any steps in the near future to protest against the continuance of this position?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI am aware of the increase in the adverse visible balance of trade with Holland in 1934. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer to the answer which was given on 30th April to the hon. Members for the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald) and East Dorset (Mr. Hall-Caine).
