§ 86. Mr. Harrisonasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek the co-operation of the Government of Eire to rediscuss the recent 33⅓ per cent. tariff imposed by Eire, on the imports of artificial silk goods from this country; and if he will seek a solution of the question of the disparity of raw material prices for this particular trade that at the present time exists.
§ Mr. BottomleyNo. The new duty applies only to a limited range of woven rayon piece goods, and I am not satisfied that there is a case on which to approach the Government of Eire. As regards the second part of the Question, export prices of rayon yarn are determined by supply and demand in a world market and our export prices compare very well with those of other countries.
