§ 8. Mr. Dayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will give particulars of any products of convict labour, produced either in a foreign prison or other penal establishment, that have been refused admission to this country during the previous five years; and will he consider, if consistent with our present existing treaty obligations, introducing legislation to extend this prohibition to all goods produced by forced labour?
§ Mr. RuncimanGoods produced in a foreign prison or other penal institution are prohibited by law from entering this country; there is no record of any attempt to import such goods during the last five years. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. RuncimanI have said in my answer that they are prohibited by law from entering this country.
