HC Deb 14 February 1899 vol 66 c867
MR. HOGAN

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether any legislative action in connection with the Continental system of sugar bounties is contemplated by Her Majesty's Government during the current Session?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

I have no statement to make to the House on this subject, but I may remind the honourable Member that the Belgian Government are still continuing negotiations with a view to abolition of sugar bounties.
