HC Deb 19 May 1919 vol 116 c49W
Colonel THORNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, at the tea auction held last Thursday at the London Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing Lane, a resolution condemning the policy of giving preference to British-grown teas was carried with only one dissentient; whether at the auction in question practically every section of the tea industry was present; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

A copy of the resolution referred to has been forwarded to me, and I have noted the view taken at the meeting.
