HC Deb 04 February 1930 vol 234 c1668
43. Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has consulted or received a report from the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris with regard to the proposed tariff truce?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

The answer is in the negative.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Is the President of the Board of Trade aware that the Chamber of Commerce in Paris are absolutely opposed to this proposal, as they look upon it as stereotyping this country as a dumping heap for the world?

Mr. GRAHAM

I am aware that certain views have been expressed in criticism, but I do not for one moment accept the latter part of the hon. and gallant Member's supplementary question.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

That is what they said.
