§ 19. Mr. CAPORNasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that during the first six months of the present year there were imported into this country from Germany 860,000 dozens of stockings and hose, and that these imports are being subsidised directly and indirectly by the German State; and what action he proposes to take to safeguard British interests?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANImports of stockings and hose of cotton and artificial silk from Germany were smaller in the first six months of this year than in the corresponding period of either of the two preceding years. I have no reason to think that the existing procedure is not sufficient to safeguard British interests.
