§ 49. Colonel APPLINasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the success of the steps that have been taken to safeguard certain British industries, as shown by the trade returns and the marked decrease in un employment; and whether, in view of these facts and figures, he will expedite the safeguarding of those industries which are still suffering from unfair foreign competition?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERI have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given by the Prime Minister on the 3rd December to the hon. Member for St. George's, Westminster (Mr. Erskine), of which I am sending him a copy.
