HC Deb 10 November 1938 vol 341 c320W
Sir J. Smedley Crooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are being taken by His Majesty's Government to safeguard British manufacturers against German subsidised exports to Australia, New Zealand, and India?

Mr. Stanley

The question of the trade relations between Germany on the one side and the Dominions and India on the other, including the question of the treatment to be accorded to German goods in those countries, is primarily one for settlement between Germany and the Overseas Governments concerned.

I am, however, always ready to examine any specific cases brought to my notice where United Kingdom trade interests are being prejudicially affected and to consider the possibility of approaching those Governments with a view to finding a solution of the difficulty.
