§ MR. MACIVERasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether any actual reduction in the taxation of Malta is contemplated, or if it is intended to substitute other taxation for the duties upon imported grain which are now proposed to be remitted?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, no reduction in the total amount of taxation is contemplated. If the Council determines to diminish the Grain Duties, as I hope it may, it will find a substitute for them.
