Mr. ERSKINEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the grinding-wheel industry could be doubled, to the advantage of all concerned, if a measure of safeguarding were extended to it; that in such an event there would be no increase in prices; and, in view of the fact that at present most of this trade goes to America, can he see his way to bringing in an amending Bill to the Safeguarding of Industries Act to cover such cases as this for the benefit of our unemployed in this country?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to him by the Prime Minister on the 3rd December last, to which I have nothing to add.
