§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)I have already received detailed statistics on a number of cases from my hon. Friend and others, but I understand that further information on the subject is being compiled by trade interests. Until I have had an opportunity of carefully considering the latter I must ask my hon. Friend to allow me to defer any definite statement on the subject.
