HC Deb 12 May 1915 vol 71 c1644
66. Mr. BOOTH

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state what was the subject discussed with the Swiss dye firms at the interview at the Board of Trade; whether the chairman of British Dyes, Limited, was present; and what is the attitude of the Government towards dye users who have not subscribed to the company?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The subject of discussion was the supply of Swiss dyes. The chairman of British Dyes, Limited, was not present. I know of no proposal to make any distinction between subscribers and non-subscribers as regards the subject of discussion.
