HC Deb 20 April 1921 vol 140 c1874
55. Mr. LYLE-SAMUEL

asked the Lord Privy Seal when the Financial Resolution for the Anti-Dumping Bill will be put down?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I regret that I am not yet in a position to name a date.

Mr. LYLE-SAMUEL

In view of the fact that this legislation relates to key industries, how many more years will elapse before the Government take steps to protect those industries which in itself has taken the responsibility of describing as key industries?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The hon. Gentleman knows as well as anyone in the country that the Government is anxious to deal with this question at the earliest possible moment, and but for the changes in the Government necessitated by the unfortunate illness of my predecessor and the industrial dispute this measure would have been introduced already.

Mr. HOGGE

In view of the fact that the Prime Minister has now joined the Unionist party, does not that facilitate matters?
