HC Deb 20 February 1933 vol 274 cc1451-2
57. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there was any dumping of foreign-grown wheat in the 12 months ended 31st December, 1932; if so, whether the foreign Governments granted any subsidy; and what were the countries concerned?
