HC Deb 10 May 1939 vol 347 c501W
Mr. Hepworth

asked the President of the Board of Trade how the exchange of materials between Great Britain and the United States of America is to be carried out; and whether it will involve the purchase by the British Government of such commodities as rubber and their subsequent redistribution to America in exchange for goods from that country?

Mr. Cross

My right hon. Friend is not at present able to add to the statement made by the Prime Minister on the subject on 4th May.
