HC Deb 10 June 1931 vol 253 cc1024-5W
Major THOMAS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the decrease of British cycles and component parts imported into India during the year 1930 as compared with the year 1929; and what steps he is taking to prevent this market being lost to the British cycle industry?

Mr. GILLETT

The attention of the body representing the cycle manufacturers in this country has been drawn by the Department of Overseas Trade to the decreased proportion enjoyed by this country of India's imports of cycles: the Trade Commissioners are carefully watching the position.
