HC Deb 14 December 1932 vol 273 cc331-2
42. Mr. PERKINS

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he is aware that the Australian Government have started manufacturing sheep-shearing machinery in Australia; whether he has any information as to the extent to which the local demand for such machinery will be supplied by local manufacture; and whether any duty has been imposed on imports of such machinery?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

I have no official information on the subject, but, will arrange for inquiries to be made.
