HC Deb 24 July 1922 vol 157 cc7-8
21. Mr. BRIANT

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has yet received a Report from the Committee appointed by him to investigate a complaint with regard to the import of snap fasteners from Germany and CzechoSlovakia; and whether, in the event of the Committee's Report upholding the complaint, he will be prepared to make an Order against Czecho-Slovakia, or whether he will be deterred from doing this by virtue of the same arrangement which had deterred him from making the Order in respect of Czecho-Slovakia glassware?

Mr. BALDWIN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part is purely hypothetical, and I have already stated that I propose to deal with the question of the exclusion of Czecho-Slovakia from the Order now before the House, when that Order comes up for discussion.
