HC Deb 27 April 1926 vol 194 cc1816-7
10. Mr. BASIL PETO

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many glass furnaces were put out of use in the year to 31st March last or in the last completed year of which he has records?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I regret that there are no official records bearing on this matter.

Mr. PETO

Will the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have made inquiries, and neither officially nor unofficially can I get the information.

Mr. PETO

Will the President consider the information if I send it to him?

Mr. HANNON

Is it not a fact that 60 furnaces have gone out of operation lately?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have no official information, and I shall be glad to consider any information that the hon. Member can give me.
