Part of Oral Answers to Questions — British Empire Exhibition. – in the House of Commons at on 6 July 1925.
Mr Alexander Livingstone
, Ross and Cromarty
asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is aware of the Resolution, passed unanimously at a general meeting of the Indian Merchants' Association on 27th May, 1925, protesting against goods of non-Indian origin being sold in the Indian Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley; and whether, in view of the fact that two stalls in the Indian Pavilion were closed last year for a similar offence, he will make representations to the exhibition authorities to prevent the competition from these machine-made goods which are detrimental to the sale and advertisement of the hand-made goods brought from India?
