HC Deb 13 February 1946 vol 419 c89W
Mr. T. Macpherson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps are now being taken to develop reciprocal trade with the U.S.S.R.

Mr. Belcher

As my hon. Friend the Member for Acton (Mr. Sparkes) was informed on 23rd January, we are most anxious to develop Anglo-Russian trade. My right hon. and learned Friend took advantage of the presence in London of the Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Trade to discuss the matter with him.
