§ 46. Major COLVILLEasked the Prime Minister if he proposes to give time for a discussion on the state of the iron and steel industry before the House rises?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe pressure on Parliamentary time is such that it will not be possible before the House rises to find time for a Debate on this subject apart from the opportunity which will arise on the occasion of the Board of Trade Vote, when my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade has promised a statement of the position.
§ Major COLVILLEIs it not the ease that on the Board of Trade Vote the question of tariffs cannot be discussed; is the right hon. Gentleman aware that unemployment in this industry has trebled since the Government took office, and is it not advisable to have a full discussion?
§ The PRIME MINISTEREverything that is germane to the subject will be discussed on the Board of Trade Vote.
§ Captain P. MACDONALDHas not any discussion on tariffs always been ruled out of order on the Board of Trade Vote?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI have said that everything that is germane will be discussed.
