HC Deb 18 July 1927 vol 209 cc4-5
6. Mr. KELLY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the Government of India has received from the associated chambers of commerce in India or other bodies any representations in regard to the problem of alleged evasion of import duty by smuggling of goods, particularly gold thread, into Madras; whether he will give the terms of such representations; and what action the Government of India propose to take in this matter?

Earl WINTERTON

My Noble Friend has no information beyond a Press report which states that such representations have been made and that the Government of India have the matter under consideration.
