§ Mr. O. V. MORGAN (Battersea)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has yet received information from Berlin as to the absence of any charge for declarations in connection with invoices on shipments from Germany to the United States; and, if so, whether the Government will take the necessary steps to relieve shippers from England of the payment of 2s. 6d. at present levied on each invoice?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)The inquiry has been made through Her Majesty's Minister at Washington—not at Berlin. There has not yet been time to receive a reply.
