§ 7. Major LEIGHTONasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs 1592 whether any discussion took place at Ottawa as to the free importation into the Dominions of goods manufactured by disabled ex-service men; and, if not, whether, in view of the plight of the industries employing such men, he is prepared to enter into negotiations to this end?
The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)No discussion on the lines indicated by the hon. and gallant Member took place at Ottawa, and I feat that it would not be feasible to take the action suggested in the second part of his question.
§ Major LEIGHTONWill the right hon. Gentleman examine the question a little more in detail in view of the fact that an exhibition of disabled men's goods is now being held?
Mr. THOMASI appreciate my hon. and gallant Friend's interest, but I have examined it, and I do not think that it would be practical politics.
