§ Mr. E. JARDINEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the fact that the embroidery manufacturers of Nottingham are by no means fully employed, and that their trade, in comparison with the year 1915, is depressed, while increasing imports of embroidery, both on net and cloth fabrics, continue to be permitted both from Holland and Switzerland; and whether, in view of these facts, he will order a revision of the decision of the Director of Import Restrictions not to prohibit the import of these articles?
Mr. RUNCIMANI would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for East Nottingham on 12th April.
