HC Deb 11 July 1939 vol 349 c2076W
Sir A. Knox

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was Soviet Russia's favourable balance in her trade with Great Britain in 1938 or the latest available year; and what was her unfavourable balance in her trade with Germany in the same year?

Mr. Stanley

The most recent figures available relate to the 10 months ended October, 1938. During that period the value of goods exported from the Soviet Union to Great Britain exceeded that of imports of United Kingdom origin by 139 million roubles; the corresponding figures of Soviet trade with Germany show an excess of exports amounting to 34 million roubles.
