§ 5. Captain Stricklandasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the importance of the woven label and ribbon trade and of the cut- price competition of foreign imports, he will cause separate accounts to be taken in the Board of Trade returns of the quantity so imported?
§ Mr. StanleyI shall be glad to consider the practicability of arranging for a separate record to be kept of imports of the goods in question, but I am afraid that any change in the present form of the trade accounts could only be brought into force as from 1st January next.
