§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the serious unemployment which exists in the cane and willow furniture and basket 1909W industry, owing to the import of these goods into this country at prices at which they cannot be produced here; and whether he is aware that the workers allege that the employers are taking advantage of this by buying and selling these goods as English-made articles?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEI understand that employment in this industry is not good. As regards the latter portion of his questions, I would refer my Noble Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday to a question by the hon. Member for West Nottingham (Mr. Hayday).
