HC Deb 29 April 1935 vol 301 cc19-20
29. Mr. SUTCLIFFE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now able to make any definite statement as to the result of his inquiries into the re-export as British-made of foreign textile goads imported for finishing purposes; and whether the Government contemplate any action, and, if so, of what nature to prevent such practices?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I cannot at present add to the answer I gave on the 11th April to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Accrington (Major Procter).

Mr. SUTCLIFFE

Can my hon. and gallant Friend say when he will be in a position to make a statement?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

No. The matter is under active consideration, but I cannot name a date.
