LORD JOHN MANNERS

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether any communications have been made to the Chambers of Agriculture with respect to the duties proposed to be levied on agricultural produce under the new Treaty with France?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN,

in reply, said, communications had been made by the Foreign Office to the Chambers of Commerce; but he was not aware whether any had been made to the Chambers of Agriculture. The matter should receive his attention.
