§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I should like to ask my right honourable Friend the First Lord of the Treasury whether he can confirm the report that the proposed great increase in the tonnage dues, under the consideration of the American Congress, has now been definitely abandoned?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe information to which my honourable Friend refers has reached me to-night, but not from an official source. If he will be good enough to put a Question on the Paper to-night, I hope to be able to answer it at Question time tomorrow.
