HC Deb 25 October 1920 vol 133 c1301
1. Mr. WATERSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade how much German leather has been imported to this country during this year; and if any of this is by way of reparation or indemnity?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame)

During the first nine months of this year the registered imports of dressed leather consigned from Germany amounted to 4,571 cwts., and of undressed leather to 126 cwts. No leather has been imported by way of reparation or indemnity.

Mr. WATERSON

Has any German leather been prevented from coming in as part payment of the indemnity?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

Perhaps my hon. Friend will give me notice of that question?
