HC Deb 08 November 1920 vol 134 cc885-6W
Sir J. CORY

asked the President of the Board of Trade what imports, and the quantities, are now arriving from Germany and Austria; and what steps are being taken to protect British industries from unfair competition due to the exchanges or otherwise?

Sir R. HORNE

So far as relates to imports from Germany, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to a similar inquiry by the hon. Member for Harborough (Sir K. Fraser) on 1st November and to pages 547 and 548 of the Board of Trade Journal for 4th November, copies of which I am sending to him. Particulars of imports from Austria as defined in the Treaty of Peace are, I regret to say, not at present available.
