HC Deb 14 November 1933 vol 281 c746W
Mr. GLOSSOP

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the continued importation of worked Italian marble is retarding re-employment of Landstone quarry workers and monumental masons; and whether he will take steps to stimulate the use of British-worked monumental masonry in the cemeteries and churchyards throughout the country?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The question of the duty upon worked marble is under consideration, but I am not in a position to state what action will be taken.
