HC Deb 26 June 1934 vol 291 cc952-3
13. Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to the functions of the Canadian Tariff Board as modified by the recent ruling of the Supreme Court in Canada?

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

I regret that I am not yet in a position to make a statement, as I am still awaiting a copy of the judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada in regard to the Canadian Tariff Board. It is, however, I understand, expected shortly and I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as it has been considered.

Mr. WHITE

Is the right hon. Gentleman not able to get the information by telegram, seeing that this is so important a matter?

Mr. THOMAS

It is a very important answer which I shall have to give, and I am sure my hon. Friend will recognise that it is desirable for me to get the fullest information.
