HC Deb 21 April 1899 vol 70 c210
MR. SEALE-HAYNE

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he will grant a Return of all the bounties, direct and indirect, on the production or export of sugar given by France, Germany, and Austria; and, if he is unable to supply this information, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a copy of a Circular issued by the Secretary to the United States Treasury on 12th December 1898, giving particulars of the sugar bounties, direct and indirect, given by the principal continental countries?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

Yes, Sir, I will grant the Return desired, and it may be desirable to supplement it by a copy of the Circular issued by the Secretary of the United States Treasury, as desired by the honourable Member.
