§ 91. Mr. Osborneasked the President of the Board of Trade how much of the £6 million new orders for British goods for Eastern Europe, placed at the Moscow Economic Conference earlier this year, have so far been delivered; and what steps he is taking to encourage this East-West trade.
§ Mr. MackesonSo far as I know, no orders for United Kingdom goods were placed at the Moscow Economic Conference and I have not heard of any deliveries which could be attributed to the agreements concluded there. After the Moscow Conference my right hon. Friend got in touch with the representatives in London of the Soviet Government and of the three Eastern European Governments with which agreements were concluded, but no new trade has resulted.
