IRON AND STEEL TRADE. (Hansard, 1 July 1925)

§ 67. Mr. DIXEY
asked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the result of the application of the iron and steel trade to the Safeguarding of Industries Committee for protection?

§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Burton Chadwick)
I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement made in the Debate on Monday by the Minister of Labour.

§ Mr. DIXEY
May we take it that there is no possibility of any form of protection being given to the trade?

§ Sir B. CHADWICK
That will be decided by the inquiry.

Captain BENN
Can the hon. Gentleman give us the terms of reference of this inquiry?

§ Sir B. CHADWICK
No.

§ Brigadier-General Sir HENRY CROFT
When is this new inquiry going to set to work? Is it being set up immediately?

§ Sir B. CHADWICK
I understand it has been set up.

§ Mr. DIXEY
Shall we have an opportunity of discussing its decision?
