39. Captain SHAWasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, seeing that when appointing the three Englishmen who comprise the Import Advisory Committee he avoided choosing members on the ground of their special familiarity with the conditions of particular industries or particular parts of the United Kingdom, he will ask this committee to consider holding a number of sittings in 1692 Edinburgh every year so that they may be brought and kept in closer touch with Scottish needs and conditions?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINSubject to the requirements of the Import Duties Act, the procedure of the committee is a matter entirely within their own competence.
