HC Deb 01 August 1923 vol 167 c1496W
Mr. DARBISHIRE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will, before coming to a decision as to the protection, by an import duty, of the manufacture of motor tyres in this country, cause an inquiry to be made into the balance sheets and profit and loss accounts, and the general management of the various companies interested in this industry, and the more especially into the circumstances of those companies promoted, formed, and reconstructed in the years 1919 and 1920?

Viscount WOLMER

Due consideration will be given to all relevant factors before any decision is taken on this matter.
