HC Deb 01 July 1924 vol 175 c1103
12. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any of the Returns in his possession indicate the probability of an early revival of trade?

Mr. WEBB

I do not think I can usefully add to the statements on this subject which I made in the course of the discussion of the Board of Trade Estimates on the 19th June, to which I would refer the hon. Member.

Mr. SOMERVILLE

In view of the interest which the right hon. Gentleman takes in the trade affairs of the country, will he establish a Commission to make further inquiries?

Mr. REMER

Has the right hon. Gentleman studied the Minister of Labour's figures during the last fortnight?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
