§ MR. O. V. MORGAN (Battersea)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has yet received an answer from Her Majesty's Minister at Washington as to the reason why shippers from England to the United States are charged a declaration fee of 2s. 6d. on each invoice in addition to the Consul's fee, while shippers from Germany to the United States pay no declaration fee?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)(who replied) said: A letter containing the substance of the Report on the subject received from Her Majesty's Minister at Washington was addressed to the hon. Member yesterday. If he requires any further information I would suggest that he should communicate again with the Foreign Office, where the matter is receiving attention.
