HC Deb 31 March 1919 vol 114 c846
12. Sir CHARLES HANSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the present high price of olive oil per ton as compared with pre-war prices, a commodity of great importance to the textile trade, he will consider the advisability of granting more freely import licences, thereby reducing the price per ton and enabling the manufacturers to compete against foreign trade?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The question of admitting olive oil more freely is now under consideration.
