HC Deb 10 April 1918 vol 104 c1473W
Sir B. STANIER

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the price of wool grown in Great Britain has been settled at 60 per cent. over the 1914 prices; and, if so, why wool from the Colonies is to be 65 per cent. over 1914?

Mr. FORSTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part, no negotiations have yet been entered into with regard to the purchase of the 1918–19 Colonial clips.
