§ Mr. Jannerasked the President of the Board of Trade what evidence he has received of difficulty caused to university students and scientific institutions as a result of the limitations which have been imposed on the import of scientific books; and if he is now in a position to make a further statement about this subject.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI have received representations from many quarters that the present quota, which is in general 100 per cent. by value of the imports of scientific and technical books in 1939, is inadequate for our essential needs. The question is being investigated but I am not yet in a position to make any further statement.
