§ 11. Mr. HANNONasked the President of the Board of Trade the value of motor tyres and component parts imported into this country during the 12 months ended 1041 31st December, 1922; and whether, in view of the grave unemployment existing in the motor-tyre industry in this country, he will consider whether this is a case where a duty might be imposed?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Baldwin)The value of pneumatic tyres and tubes for motor-cars and motor-cycles into this country during the year 1922 amounted to £4,049,570. As regards the second part of the question, I am unable to anticipate the Budget statement.
