§ 23. Sir FRANK SANDERSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the fact that the Abnormal Importations Act ceases to operate on 19th May and that manufacturers are refraining from entering into new contracts on this account, so that valuable trade which has been recovered under the protection of the Act may now be lost, he will make some statement as to the continuance of the Act beyond 19th May before the House rises for the Easter Recess?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on this subject yesterday to the hon. Member for Sheffield Central (Mr. Boulton) by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
