Mr. Anthony Greenwood

asked the President of the Board of Trade what amount of raw cotton was imported from the U.S.S.R. in the last convenient period of three months; and how much it is planned to import during the next six months.

Mr. H. Wilson

No raw cotton has been imported from the Soviet Union since July, 1947. According to indications recently given by the Soviet authorities, none is likely to be available during the next six months.
