§ Mr. LEACHasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that British textile firms are importing wool textiles from Japan in the grey, having them finished or dyed and finished in this country and exporting them abroad as of British origin; and will he take steps to put an end to this practice?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANOne such case has been brought to my notice, and I am asking for further particulars. The available trade statistics indicate that any trade of this kind must be of very small dimensions.
