HC Deb 08 April 1930 vol 237 c1945
39. Sir GEORGE PENNY

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he contemplates any further visits to the Dominions on the lines of his tour in Canada in search of fresh openings for the provision of employment?

Mr. THOMAS

If I felt that I could be sure of equally good results, I would not hesitate to make further visits.

Sir G. PENNY

Does the right hon. Gentleman consider that his immediate colleagues may be withholding any proposals which might be helpful to him?

Mr. THOMAS

If I contemplated being able to make the trip so successful as to lead, for instance, to the obtaining of a definite new order, for among other things, 40,000 tons of coal. I should be delighted to do it.
