§ 65. Mr. REMERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he has any information as to the value of the cotton piece goods imported into Jamaica from Japan in the months of January and February of 1930 and in the same months of the present year?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERNo monthly statistics of imports are published by the Government of Jamaica. I will, however, ask the Governor whether he can furnish the information desired.
§ Mr. REMERDoes the information in my right hon. Friend's possession show a very rapid increase of Japanese imports into Jamaica; and, if so, what action is it proposed to take?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThere certainly has been a definite increase. I think the President of the Board of Trade has already stated the general lines on which he is negotiating.
