HC Deb 15 July 1929 vol 230 cc35-6
48. Commander WILLIAMS

asked the Prime Minister if it is his intention to withdraw the Clause in Government contracts that wherever possible British goods and material should be used?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

It is not the intention of the Government to change the existing practice in this respect.

Commander WILLIAMS

Is there any foundation for the statement, made the other day by the Secretary of State for India to the effect that, the more imports there are into this country, the more employment there is?
