Mr. ROBERTSONMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I am afraid I can only refer the hon. Member to the answer which my right hon. Friend, the President of the Board of Trade, gave on the 9th June to the hon. 1035 Member for the Stretford Division, of which I am sending him a copy.
