GOWERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, having regard to the circumstance that the number of unemployed in the cement, limekilns, and whiting works in the Rochester, Chatham, and Gillingham districts (Kent) has increased from 61 to 272 during the six months ending January, 1930, he will consider the desirability of imposing a prohibitive import duty on all foreign cement entering this country?
