§ 27. Mr. CHORLTONasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to set up a special trade committee which can without further loss of time deal with all other restrictions under treaty or otherwise which the quota policy lately announced will not affect, to enable the earliest possible action to be taken to help still further the cotton export trade?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANIn their endeavours to assist the cotton export trade, the Government will continue to keep in close touch with the trade interests concerned, but I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by setting up, at the present stage, a special trade committee.
