§ Dr. BurginParticulars of the volume of retained imports of manufactured goods in 1936 are not yet available. I will let my hon. Friend have the desired information as soon as the necessary calculations are completed.
§ Brigadier-General Sir Henry CroftIs it not a fact that the volume is continually increasing, and are the Government going to take any steps to alter the existing rate of duties in view of the large volume of unemployed?
