HC Deb 05 March 1925 vol 181 c647
114. Mr. DIXEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the danger of excess foreign competition which will arise in any specific trade when it is known that that trade has applied to the Board of Trade for safeguarding; and, if so, will he consider taking steps to prevent such information being made public until the Safeguarding Committee itself meets to consider the application?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 19th February to the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Sir R. Hamilton), of which I am sending him a copy.
