HC Deb 25 February 1936 vol 309 c273W
Colonel GOODMAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the effect upon British exports of the trade sanctions imposed by the League of Nations against Italy; and whether in any instance any compensatory trade has been arranged?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

It is not possible to estimate the effect of the application of sanctions on the United Kingdom export trade as a whole. The reply to the second Tart of the question is in the negative.
