Glynasked the President of the Board of Trade what are the respective prices per pound of wool paid by his Department to flock owners in the United Kingdom, in the Dominions and Colonies, and in foreign countries, assuming the grades of wool to be based on the usual textile manufacturers requirements.
§ Mr. H. WilsonPurchases of Dominion, Colonial and Foreign wools are made at auction or by private contract and not by my Department. United Kingdom wools are requisitioned by the Agricultural Departments and I understand that the average price being paid to flock owners for this season's clip is 2S. 1d. per lb.
