HC Deb 08 February 1915 vol 69 c268W
Mr. SHERWELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the French Government have prohibited the export from and transport through France of pyrites; and, if so, in view of the injurious effect of this prohibition upon the colour manufacture industry, whether the Government propose to make any representations to the French Government in the matter?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The facts stated in the first part of the question are correct. A communication will shortly be addressed to the French Government on the subject.
