HC Deb 19 May 1930 vol 239 c51W
Mr. MARDY JONES

asked the Secretary of State for India what trade boycotts, if any, exist at present in India against the importation and/or consumption of goods from Britain?

Mr. BENN

As I stated in a reply on 5th May, I have heard from the Government of India that the efforts to establish a boycott of British and foreign goods have so far been mainly concentrated on cloth. There have also been reports of a boycott of medical goods which, according to my latest information, is weakening. I have not heard of any other boycotts directed against individual trades.
