HC Deb 10 February 1931 vol 248 c227W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirability of using the Imperial Economic Committee to make inquiries into the production and cultivation of certain chief world products in respect of which parts of the British Empire are themselves producers, with the object of rendering assistance to those who are finding it difficult at present to carry on?

The PRIME MINISTER

I will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind, but, as he will be aware, no questions can be referred to the Imperial Economic Committee except by agreement among the Governments of the British Commonwealth.
