HC Deb 26 March 1906 vol 154 cc867-8
MR. LIDDELL (Down, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of † SIR GILBERT PARKER: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the question of proposed legislation to exclude alien pilots from our waters has been found compatible with our treaties with foreign countries. Trade whether, having regard to the amount of employment given to the Irish peasants in the hand-embroidering, hemstitching, and drawn-thread work trade, he will give instructions for Returns to be kept in future showing the quantity and value of this class of work imported into the United Kingdom from foreign countries.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE

The form of the Trade Accounts for the present year has been fixed some time ago and cannot conveniently be altered, but the suggestion shall be referred to the Committee for the revision of Trade Accounts which will meet in the autumn to consider the changes that are desirable for the following year.
