§ 41. Mr. Orbachasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there are ample tobacco stocks, both United States and Empire, in this country; and if he will require the disposal of available surplus stocks at present in the hands of manufacturers before assisting any new purchases of tobacco which necessitate the transfer of dollars.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftWe take stock levels into account when allocating dollars for tobacco purchases. Tobacco from this year's dollar crop has already been bought and paid for.
