HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 c201W
Mr. Thurtle

asked the President of the Board of Trade what protests he has received, from whom, and of what nature, regarding the recent large purchases of tinned salmon from Japan?

Mr. Stanley

Apart from questions addressed to me in the House, five pro tests from private individuals have reached me. None of them appears to be based on special knowledge. According to my information, recent purchases have not been abnormal.
