HC Deb 14 December 1922 vol 159 cc3161-2W
Mr. WIGNALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade if any attempt has been made to terminate the spelter and

of woollen and worsted tissues of domestic manufacture exported from the United Kingdom during the 11 months ended 30th November of each of the years 1913, 1919, and 1922:

zinc concentrates agreement entered into with the Australian Government; and, if so, with what result?

Viscount WOLMER

No opportunity has arisen of terminating the agreements for the purchase of spelter and zinc concentrates which were entered into with an Australian company, but discussions have, taken place which may result in some modification of the contracts.
