§ Mr. Walkerasked The President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that lift gear-boxes, gear centres. and parts are being imported from Germany, the indications of origin removed, and resold as goods of British manufacture; what, if any, loss of revenue is incurred by their importation as part-machined goods; and what steps he is prepared to take to prevent this deception of consumers and loss of employment to British workers?
Mr. StanleyI have no information regarding the matter to which the hon. Member refers, but if he cares to furnish me with full particulars, I will certainly consider whether there is any action that I can take.
