HC Deb 26 February 1917 vol 90 c1654
6. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representatives of the trade he consulted, and on what points, with regard to the restriction of the importation of sausage skins?

Mr. ROBERTS

Firms and associations representing users as well as producers were consulted by the Board of Trade. It is not desirable to publish the names of those consulted.

Mr. SCOTT

Without giving the names of individual firms, can the hon. Gentleman give me the name of any association that was consulted?

Mr. ROBERTS

I think I have given my hon. Friend privately.
