BRITISH INDUSTRIES
ATTITUDE TO DOMINION
QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT
LONDON, Dec. 19.
In the House of Commons, Mr R. S. Hudson, Parliamentary Secretary for Overseas Trade, in reply to Mr G. M. Garro-Jones (Labour) said: “I have seen no evidence of a campaign of unfair discrimination against New Zealand. The letter from the Federation of British Industries actually expressed appreciation of some statements by Mr Savage, while indicating that it might be necessary in future to press for modification of the Ottawa agreement with New Zealand in the event of the new policy having certain results.” Mr Garro-Jones: “Does not Mr Hudson receive press cuttings showing that a dishonest campaign against the Socialist Government of New Zealand is "being conducted by the financial papers? ” Mr Hudson: “ No. I have no evidence of such a campaign, I think some statements are based on misapprehension of the letter from the federation.” . ■ Mr Garro-Jones: “Will you arrange for the Government to be informed of the references to New Zealand in the financial press? ” There was no answer.
