§ 46. Sir C. CAYZER (for Sir JOHN SANDEMAN ALLEN)asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he has taken with regard to the representations made to him on behalf of the British chemical glassware industry in connection with proposals to establish factories in this country, with the assistance of alien labour, to manufacture chemical glassware, including tubing; and if he is aware of the capacity of the British industry to manufacture these products for the whole of the home market and for the Dominions?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)I have received representations to this effect and communicated them to the Minister of Labour, with whom rests the responsibility for issuing permits for the employment of alien labour. The Minister has been informed that the Board of Trade see no reason to question the accuracy of the view expressed on behalf of the British chemical glass industry.
