§ Mr. CROSSasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that Russian and Japanese cotton cloth is being imported into this country for processing (which in some cases amounts to no more than re-making up), and is subsequently exported bearing a stamp or label to the effect that it is of United Kingdom manufacture or has been processed in the United Kingdom; and whether he has received any representations from the Lancashire cotton industry on this subject, and what steps he is taking to inquire into and prevent the practice in question?
§ Dr. BURGINMy right hon. Friend has received representations from trade organisations in Lancashire, and the matter is under consideration.
