§ 10. Mr. REMERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the failure of the conference between the British and Japanese industrialists, the British Government now intend to impose quotas on Japanese imports into Great Britain; and when such import quotas are to be imposed?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANHis Majesty's Government will continue to give close attention to the problems which the hon. Gentleman has in mind; but, as at present advised, I doubt whether they can best be dealt with by the method suggested.
§ Mr. REMERCan my right hon. Friend say whether the version given of these conversations in a leading textile newspaper of Osaka, in which it reported that the British Government stated that they were going to give this quota, is correct?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI know nothing about newspaper reports.
§ Mr. REMERIf I send my right hon. Friend a copy of what appears, will he take it into consideration?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANIf my hon. Friend will translate it into English, I shall be glad to see it.
