HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 c2233W
Mr. REMER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he' is aware that the maximum output of artificial silk by the British Cellulose Company in any one week was 1¼ lbs. of very poor quality; and whether, in view of the highly speculative nature of this business, it would be desirable to sell these shares on the market even at a substantial loss and thus obviate the possibility of the Treasury making a total loss?

Mr. HOPE

I have been asked to reply. The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative
