§ Sir S. HOAREI have no information that any such boycott is in existence.
§ Colonel BURTONasked the Secretary of State for India the nature of British manufactured goods which are boycotted by the Bombay Corporation; and the value of manufactured goods which could have been manufactured in Great Britain but were imported by the Bombay corporation during the years 1931, 1932, and 1933?
§ Sir S. HOAREAs I stated in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Kensington, South (Sir W. Davison) on 29th May, 1933, I understand that considerations of price and quality have been and still are decisive with the Bombay Municipality in placing their contracts. I have no information which I can give the hon. Member on the second half of his question.
