HC Deb 23 July 1934 vol 292 c1525
49. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he has been in communication with the Australian Government with regard to their prospective treatment of British goods in the event of a quantitative regulation of Australian meat imports being adopted by Great Britain?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

I assume that my right hon. Friend has in mind paragraphs which have appeared in the Press attributing statements on this subject to a Commonwealth Minister. I understand that the Minister in question issued in the Australian Press of the 21st July an emphatic denial.
