HC Deb 14 December 1939 vol 355 c1319W
Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Economic Warfare to what extent rationing agreements have now been completed with neutral States as in the case of the last war?

Mr. Cross

Negotiations for agreements involving the regulation of imports to or exports from neutral countries have been concluded or are now in progress with some 14 States. For obvious reasons it would be undesirable to publish any details regarding these negotiations.
