HC Deb 23 March 1893 vol 10 c877
MR. FIELD

; I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the Dublin Port and Docks Board under their Rules admit the importation of manufactured articles free, especially a great quantity of foreign joinery, whilst the raw material is heavily taxed; and whether, in view of the discontent engendered amongst Irish workmen, who state they have previously complained of this bounty system to importers, he can hold out hopes that some remedy will be found for the present state of things?

MR. MUNDELLA

I am inquiring into this matter, and shall be glad if the hon. Member will repeat the question on Monday.
