§ 43. Sir John Wardlaw-Milneasked the President of the Board of Trade whether in view of the change in the steel position, which will enable this country to export 10,000 tons per month to the U.S.A., he will now remove the restrictions limiting the export of fish-hooks to parts of the British Empire outside the Western Hemisphere.
§ Mr. DaltonNo. Sir. The exports to the United States, to which my hon. Friend refers, consists of shipbuilding plates, and the arrangement is a special and temporary one. There is still a shortage of steel in this country, and we are importing large quantities from the United States.
