I have no information as to the number of companies operating in this country under the disability referred to.
Would the Minister consider, having regard to the fact that we are to have some form of free trade, that there should be a review of the position concerning these branch factories?
I do not think there can be very many of them, and it would be impossible to carry out an investigation of the circumstances in a case of this kind.
