§ Dr. PETERSasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he proposes to take powers, if necessary, to stop foreign firms coming to this country to manufacture goods so as to evade the imposition of duties by the Board of Trade on imports, and thus render it impossible for such foreign firms to take moneys out of this country in the nature of profits made by them?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe answer is in the negative. I do not think it desirable to prevent foreign concerns from employing British workpeople in this country.
