HC Deb 06 June 1919 vol 116 cc2437-8W
Mr. WADDINGTON

asked the President of the Board of Trade if it is intended to allow the import, before 30th Septem- ber, of United States hosiery other than hosiery actually shipped from a United States port before 31st May?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

It is not at present proposed to admit any cotton hosiery before 1st September, unless in exceptional circumstances. My right hon. Friend hopes shortly to be able to announce what the trade policy of the Government will be after that date.
