§ 13. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can now state what action has been taken by any of the Colonies with regard to the imposition of quotas upon Japanese imports?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERAs my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate, some time is necessary for the preparation and passing of the legislation required to bring the quota system into operation and it is not yet possible to prepare any general summary of the action taken, but every effort is being made to bring the system into operation with the least possible delay.
§ Captain MACDONALDCan the right hon. Gentleman say which Colonies have indicated their desire to adopt the amendments?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERNo, Sir, I could not say that at this moment, but I can say that the reply has been generally satisfactory.
