HC Deb 07 May 1929 vol 227 c2038W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has any information which shows that overseas markets are being lost to British manufacturers owing to the payment of subsidies or export bounties to competing manufacturers by the Governments of foreign countries; and if he will give particulars?

Mr. HACKING

The information available in my Department does not justify the belief that overseas markets are being lost to British manufacturers in consequence of the payment of subsidies and bounties, as specified by my hon. Friend.
