HC Deb 15 March 1920 vol 126 c1809
71. Mr. D. GRAHAM

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to subsidise the cotton-growing industry from public funds; and whether the limitation of prices and dividends will be made an essential condition of any such subsidy?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The question of the precise nature and extent of State financial assistance towards the promotion of cotton-growing within the Empire is still under consideration.
