HC Deb 11 November 1920 vol 134 cc1361-2
35. Mr. DOYLE

asked the Prime Minister if he can now name a date for the introduction of the promised Bill for the prevention of dumping and the protection of key industries?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot add anything to the answer which I gave on the 28th of October to questions on this subject.

Mr. DOYLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say if the Bill will be introduced during the present Session?

Mr. HOGGE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is a Motion on the Paper not to sit until Monday? Could we not have the Anti-Dumping Bill to-morrow?

Mr. NEWBOULD

In view of the general agreement which exists in the ranks of the Coalition on this subject, could not the measure go through without opposition?

The PRIME MINISTER

The hon. Gentleman will be surprised when he sees how much he is disappointed. We have given definite pledges, and we mean to carry them out.

Mr. DEVLIN

We all agree that the Coalition Liberals would vote for anything.
