§ 38. Mr. James Griffithsasked the Secretary for Mines whether, in view of the successful conclusion of an international convention for the regulation of coke exports, he will take steps to initiate discussions among the coalowners of the same countries with a view to the concluding of a similar convention for the regulation of coal exports?
§ Captain CrookshankThis is a matter for the trade itself, and I am sure that it is not being overlooked.
§ Mr. GriffithsDoes not the Minister regard it as being within his province to urge and initiate discussions of this kind?
§ Captain CrookshankNo, Sir, I think it is primarily a matter for the trade.
§ Mr. GriffithsWill the Minister say whether he himself regards an international convention as being desirable?
