HC Deb 03 May 1932 vol 265 c961W
Mr. L. SMITH

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the policy of the Government in connection with the efforts being made by representatives of the French, Belgium, and Dutch wool industries to join with British manufacturers in a scheme for the reciprocal limitation of tariffs?

Mr. COLVILLE

I have seen references in the Press to the discussions to which my hon. Friend alludes. His Majesty's Government would not be able to consider a policy of mutual tariff concessions, such as has been contemplated in these discussions, until the results of the Imperial Conference at Ottawa are known.
