HC Deb 11 February 1926 vol 191 c1221
48. Mr. HURD

asked the Prime Mintster if he will invite the Imperial Economic Committee to consider whether the Empire purpose of the grant of £1,000,000 for the larger sale of Empire overseas produce would not be best served by confining its operation te Imperial transit routes such as those of the St. Lawrence and the maritime provinces of Canada in place of the routes of foreign countries?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have no doubt that the Imperial Economic Committee, in any further study which they may make of this question, will take my hon. Friend's suggestion into consideration.
