§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he has yet been able to come to a decision as to the importation of foreign-made cocoa butter free of duty, although containing cocoa as its principal ingredient, which, if imported to be manufactured in this country, has to pay a heavy Customs duty, and placing the manufacturers thereof in consequence at a considerable disadvantage in competition with their foreign rivals?
§ MR. HANBURYThis matter, though a small one in itself, involves a legal question which is now being considered. I cannot say how long it will take to decide it, but as soon as a decision is arrived at I will communicate with my hon. and gallant Friend.
