HC Deb 23 March 1926 vol 193 c1006
13. Mr. SANUEMAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many tons of cement were imported into this country last year?

Mr. SAMUEL

217,452 tons.

Mr. SANDEMAN

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that each ton of cement which is brought into this country is carried in 12 bags which ought to be made in Dundee, and cannot he do anything to help the jute industry in Dundee, which is getting in a very bad state?
