HC Deb 10 March 1932 vol 262 c1971
86. Mr. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade, if he has any information in regard to the decision of the French Government that all coal imported into France from Great Britain must be carried by French ships?

Major COLVILLE

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given yesterday in reply to a similar question by the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Lawson).

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Will the hon. Gentleman ask the Minister for Mines if this has his approval as being consistent with the navigation laws of Oliver Cromwell?
