85. Colonel BALDWIN-WEBB

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any steps are under contemplasion to restrict the import of glazed tiles and roofing tiles?

Dr. BURGIN

Any application for increased duties on these goods should be made by the interests concerned to the Import Duties Advisory Committee.

Colonel BALDWIN-WEBB

Will the Minister represent to the advisory committee that an excessive amount of unemployment exists in this industry?

Dr. BURGIN

It is entirely a matter for the industry to make its own application.

Colonel BALDWIN-WEBB

It has already made application.

Dr. BURGIN

Then, no doubt, the Committee are considering the application.
