§ 29. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether early this month a large parcel of Army cloth passed through Hull on the way to Holland; whether the Customs stopped it as being obviously intended for Germany, but that, on presentation of amended papers, it was passed; whether he has information as to considerable manufacture of such cloth and also blankets in the West Riding; and what steps he proposes to take?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Runciman)I am informed by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise that inquiries have been made at Hull, but that they have been unable to trace the exportation referred to by the hon. Member.
