§ 79. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent an increase in the price of leather is contemplated by his Department.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo particular increase is contemplated in the prices of leather to footwear manufacturers. Some increase may take place in certain other cases.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterCan the right hon. and learned Gentleman say whether that increase will be the result of the collapse of the International Leather Committee?
§ Sir S. CrippsIt will be the result of higher prices which have to be paid for leather if that is the case.
