HC Deb 15 November 1920 vol 134 cc1539-41W
Mr. REMER

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will give the names of the officials of the imported timber disposal section who reported that the 470 standards of flooring sold to Messrs. Hillas at £31 per standard were 8th November, I promised to publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as they had been prepared:
