HC Deb 22 November 1920 vol 135 c18
19. Major BARNES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the amount of dyes which have been delivered in this country by Germany up to 1st November in terms of the reparation clauses of the Treaty of' Versailles?

Sir R. HORNE

About 550 tons last year, and about 1,050 tons to the end of October this year.

Major BARNES

Are the kinds of dyes that come in selected, and, if so, by whom?

Sir R. HORNE

I am afraid I cannot answer that. The dyes coming in are those which are of use to the trade.
