§ 80. Sir J. D. REESasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, when a cargo of boards arrives from Norway half planed and half rough, the planed boards are free from, and the rough boards obnoxious to, the National Insurance Act; and whether, seeing that the insurance paid by British employers in respect of employés who plane the rough boards, is practically a bounty in favour of the foreigner, he will say what steps will be taken to place British and foreign labour in this behalf on an equal footing?
Mr. ROBERTSONI am afraid I cannot add to the reply given by me on 16th October last to a similar question asked by the hon. Member.
