HC Deb 11 December 1934 vol 296 cc193-4
27. Mr. BURNETT

asked the President of the Board of Trade the imports of granite kerbs and setts from Mysore for the years 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1934?

Dr. BURGIN

Separate particulars of the imports into the United Kingdom of granite setts and pavement kerbs from Mysore are not available, but the quantity consigned from British India as a whole was 3,609 tons in 1931, 1,892 tons in 1932, 11,364 tons in 1933 and 2,633 tons during the first 10 months of 1934.

Mr. BURNETT

Will the Parliamentary Secretary bear in mind, in connection with this matter, the extent to which the industry of sett-making is declining in certain localities and men are losing their skill?

Dr. BURGIN

The question relates to imports from India.
