53. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations have been received during the past three months from the British motor industry with regard to the difficulties placed in the way of their exports into Switzerland; and what steps he is proposing to take to bring this matter to the notice of the Swiss representatives at the Copenhagen Conference.
