HC Deb 03 November 1938 vol 340 c406W
Mr. Hepworth

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the recent Report of the British Chamber of Commerce delegation to Finland, indicating that the balance of trade in Finland's favour had been steadily increasing during recent years and amounted to over £16,000,000 in 1937; and whether, in these circumstances, he proposes to take any steps to improve the position or to modify the provisions of the Anglo-Finnish Trade Agreement?

Mr. Stanley

Yes, Sir. Since the report referred to by my hon. Friend was issued, the views of the delegation have been amplified by a deputation which was recently received in my Department, and the question of trade relations between this country and Finland is now under active consideration.
