Harveyasked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking regarding the importation of 5,000 dozen ladies' sleeveless printed cotton blouses from Hong Kong at the price of 1s. 10½d. per garment; and to what extent the origin of the components of these garments is 100 per cent. Empire produce.
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganBefore such blouses are admitted duty-free under Imperial Preference the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs satisfy themselves that they have been manufactured in Hong Kong from Commonwealth produced fabrics. No action, therefore, by my right hon. Friend is called for.
