§ 29. Sir JOHN POWERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will call for a report from our commercial representatives in Japan regarding the proposed attitude of the Japanese Government to wards the various subjects to be considered at the 19th International Labour Conference to be held at Geneva next month with regard to the proposals for social services and other measures for the protection of employed persons; and whether he can arrange for this information to be placed at the disposal of the Import Duties Advisory Committee for their guidance when considering applications for increased duties on grounds of Japanesecompetition.
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI understand that the conference has already begun, and that a record of its proceedings is published, both daily and, later, in a complete volume, which will be available for the use of the Import Duties Advisory Committee. I see no necessity to call for such a report as my hon. Friend suggests.
