HC Deb 17 June 1936 vol 313 cc1005-6W
Mr. DENVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to indicate the lines on which trade will be resumed with Italy; and, in view of the general anxiety prevailing among business men in Britain and Italy on this question and the proposals submitted to him by the Federation of British Industries, can he assure the House that no time will be lost in restoring general trade conditions between Great Britain and Italy?

Captain WALLACE

My right hon. Friend is not in a position to make any statement on this subject pending the forthcoming meetings of the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations, when the future of sanctions is to be considered.
