§ 18. Mr. Jayasked the President of the Board of Trade what reply the Government have received to its latest representations to the United States Government about the United States tariff-quota on wool imports from the United Kingdom.
§ Sir D. EcclesWe have not yet received a reply.
§ Mr. JayUntil the right hon. Gentleman does get some action, will he continue to represent to the American authorities that in the view of everyone here this restriction is peculiarly harmful to British trade?
§ Sir D. EcclesYes, Sir, we will.
§ Mr. HirstIn these representations will my right hon. Friend also press that these damaging limitations on our mutual trade are in fact resented by the American importers of cloth as much as by British exporters?
§ Sir D. EcclesYes, Sir. I know that the American importers are helping us in our representations.
