asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has now received information from His Majesty's Ambassador in Washington concerning charges made against certain firms alleged to have taken part in an international cartel; and whether he has any further statement to make?

The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Dalton)

I have received this morning a copy of the indictment charging certain American companies with violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. I am now studying the document.
