HC Deb 13 March 1883 vol 277 cc374-5
MR. H. T. DAVENPORT

asked the President of the Board of Trade, Whether, under the new American tariff, the heavy Import Duties on china and earthenware which now prevails will be largely increased?

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

said, that, though though the official copy of the new American Tariff had not yet reached this country, there was an unofficial copy in the hands of the Board of Trade. He had no information as to the change of rates on china and earthenware.

In reply to Mr. BROADHURST,

MR. CHAMBERLAIN

said, that, as soon as he received the official copy of the Tariff, he would consider in what form it could best be communicated to the House.
