§ 69. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has any information to show the effect of safeguarding industries upon prices, the cost of production in other industries, and the general trade and commerce of the country?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThese matters have been dealt with frequently in debate; and I think there is no doubt that one result of the duties has been to increase production in other industries by the placing of orders to meet the requirements of industries where a duty is in force.
