HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 c285W
90. Commander Noble

asked the President of the Board of Trade what quantity of cotton hosiery from Hong Kong is at present imported into this country; whether it is being supplied at competitive prices; and what steps are being taken to rehabilitate the Hong Kong hosiery industry.

Mr. Belcher

No cotton hosiery is being imported from Hong Kong and the second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise. The last part of the Question is a matter for my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who, I understand, is making inquiries and will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member in due course.
