HC Deb 21 May 1935 vol 302 c930
12. Mr. CHORLTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has yet received any proposals from the made-up garments manufacturers at present affected by Japanese competition with a view to regulating such imports by quota?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

In June of last year my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade received a deputation from the Shirt, Collar and Tie Manufacturers' Federation, who made a proposal of this sort. There is, how ever, no reason to think that the home market cannot be adequately protected under the existing procedure.
