§ Major Lloyd George19,813 cwt. valued at £914,845 were imported from the United States during the first 10 months of this year.
§ Mr. StoreyIs my right hon. and gallant Friend aware that there is a manufacturer in my constituency who is unable to sell hog casings because of these imports, and that his firm are not allowed to export to other countries?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeWithout these imports we would be seriously short, because the home supplies would be nothing like sufficient.
