HC Deb 18 July 1898 vol 62 c90
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is intended by the Government to impose a countervailing duty on all agricultural produce assisted with bounties imported into Great Britain and Ireland; and whether any bounty system on the principle of the proposed grant to the West Indian sugar, planters, to relieve native producers and agriculturists, is under consideration?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

No, Sir.
