§ 5. Mr. HANNONasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he has been in communication with the Canadian Government regarding the complaints made in Canada that exporters of textiles from this country to Canada are declaring those goods on Canadian Customs invoices at less than cost price; and whether the Canadian Customs authorities in the case of those goods disregard the fair market valuation?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. Malcolm MacDonald)I have seen statements in the Press that complaints have been made of the character to which my hon. Friend refers, but my right hon. Friend has received no complaints himself, nor has he had any communication with the Canadian Government. With regard to the second part of the question, I have no information to the effect suggested.
§ Mr. HANNONIs the House to understand then that trade relations between this country and Canada, in textiles, are proceeding very satisfactorily?
§ Mr. MacDONALDAs far as we are officially informed, that is the case.
