HC Deb 24 May 1933 vol 278 c1084
17. Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is the intention of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom to withdraw on 30th June next from the international convention for the abolition of import and export restrictions and prohibitions?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

This question is still under consideration.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman bear in mind that it will be much easier to run the policy of quantitative restriction if we are not compelled to impose restrictions on our own production as we are now?
