HC Deb 07 May 1935 vol 301 cc797-8
26. Mr. LYONS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will specify the manufactured goods that came into this country from Canada for the three months ended 31st March, 1935, or

vention is necessary, it can be done very properly by the Advisory Committee.

Mr. RHYS DAVIES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that it does not necessarily follow that the workers are protected by bringing these matters to the notice of the Advisory Committee?

Following are the particulars:

the nearest convenient date, and the sterling value thereof?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Particulars of the principal imports from Canada will be found in the March issue of the Trade and Navigation Accounts.

Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS

Is it the case that the issue referred to contains full particulars of manufactured goods from Canada?

Mr. LYONS

Will the return show the goods on which duty has been paid, and those which come in duty free?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

If it does not give the information which the hon. Member desires, perhaps he will put down a question.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer my question?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I am afraid that I cannot. I must have notice of it.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is it not the case that when the right hon. Gentleman states that these returns show certain information they in fact do not contain it?
