HC Deb 04 March 1931 vol 249 c394
60. Sir K. WOOD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether having regard to the prohibition on Friday last by the Canadian Government of the importation of Russian timber, wood pulp and lumber, he proposes on behalf of the Government to take similar or any other action?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

I can only repeat that I have nothing to add to previous answers on this subject.

Mr. HAYCOCK

Is my hon. Friend aware that there is a large amount of opposition to this action in Canada?

Mr. SPEAKER

Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland.

Mr. HAYCOCK

On a point of Order. Is not a supplementary permitted on this question?

Mr. SPEAKER

There are far too many supplementaries on all questions.

Mr. HAYCOCK

Is it not time that supplementaries were rationed, so that we might all have a share?
