§ Mr. Joelasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that during 1937 imports into this country from Mexico were valued at £3,847,026, whilst the exports from this country to Mexico were only valued at £1,738,863, he will take steps to reduce the unfavourable balance to this country, at any rate until such time as the Mexican Government shall adopt a more reasonable attitude with regard to the recent confiscation of British property?

Mr. Stanley:I have recently been in touch with the Joint Committee of Cotton Trade Organisations and with representatives of other industries liable to be affected by the proposals. Further consideration is necessary; but I hope to be able to make a statement shortly.
