HC Deb 10 April 1934 vol 288 c143
8. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the granting of a subsidy, such as has been devised for agriculture in this country, to increase and accelerate the use of Indian cotton, with a view to assist in increasing the sales of Lancashire cotton goods to India?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to the hon. Member for Stockport (Mr. Hammersley), on the 27th March, to which I have nothing to add.
