§ MR. MOND (Chester)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can now say what action has been taken with regard to the proposal of the French Government that French plate bearing French assay marks should be admitted into this country without liability to further assay and hall marking.
§ MR. CHURCHILLThe French Government were informed in July last that, after full consideration, His Majesty's Government felt that the difficulties which prevent the adoption of such a proposal are insuperable.
