HC Deb 28 April 1931 vol 251 c1426
18. Major BEAUMONT THOMAS

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement as to the causes of the reduction of the output in the glove industry for the months of January and February of this year as compared with the corresponding months in the year 1930?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

The latest figures of the output of gloves furnished to the Board of Trade by the industry relate to the year 1930. I have, however, seen a statement issued by the industry giving later figures and discussing them. I do not think the subject is one that can be dealt with by question and answer, but the hon. and gallant Member may wish to raise it on the Vote for my Department.
