HC Deb 23 June 1921 vol 143 cc1578-9W
Mr. MYERS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the advance in the value of the shares in the Welsbach Gas Mantle Company following upon the Second Beading of the Safeguarding of Industries Bill; and whether this fact will be taken into consideration in connection with the Government's policy on this Bill?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am aware that the price of these shames rose for a few days in the middle of this month, but I understand that it has since fallen to substantially the level at which it stood last April.
