HC Deb 18 July 1890 vol 347 c222
MR. CAUSTON (Southwark, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether the Chinese Government have by an Imperial Edict raised the transit duty on Indian spun yarn by 3.10 dollars a bale; and whether the Government have any official cognisance of this new arrangement?

* SIR J. GORST

No, Sir; this is not a matter which has come under the official cognisance of the Secretary of State, but he has reason to believe that the proper Department is making inquiry.
