§ Sir A. Wilsonasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what complaints he has received from manufacturers' associations in New Zealand of the difficulty that is being experienced in obtaining tools and machinery from England for guaranteed delivery within the year?
§ Captain WallaceThe Department of Overseas Trade has not received any complaints from manufacturers' associations in New Zealand regarding the difficulty mentioned in the question. I have seen a statement in the Press that complaints have arisen in New Zealand and His Majesty's Trade Commissioner at Wellington has been instructed to offer to the Minister of Industries and Commerce all possible assistance in the investigation of any such complaints.
