HC Deb 10 April 1922 vol 153 cc6-7
14. Mr. LYLE-SAMUEL

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is yet in possession of the Report of the Committee established by him under Part II of the Safeguarding of Industries Act to inquire into complaints made as to aluminium hollow ware and enamelled hollow ware, respectively; if so, when does he propose to lay that Report before the House; and what action has he decided to take in regard to an import duty?

12. Dr. MURRAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now prepared to relieve the suspense which exists, both in British manufacturing centres and in the distributive trade by disclosing officially whether the Glassware Committee of Inquiry, appointed under Part II of the Safeguarding of Industries Act, has by majority reported against the imposition of a duty; and what action, if any, has his Department decided to take?

Mr. BALDWIN

The Reports of these Committees are under consideration, and I hope very shortly to be in a position to make a statement with regard to them.
