HC Deb 26 April 1932 vol 265 cc196-7
53. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the desirability of introducing legislation to grant financial facilities to those starting industries in this country to replace the goods that have hereto fore been mainly imported?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Major Elliot)

No, Sir. I do not think that the matter is one in which the introduction of legislation is desirable.

Mr. CHORLTON

Is the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that if that were done it would provide employment?
