HC Deb 11 May 1899 vol 71 c329
* MR. MARKS (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now state to the House the purport and the result of the communications that have passed between Her Majesty's Government and the Austro-Hungarian Government with reference to the imposition of countervailing duties upon bounty-fed sugar imported into India.

* THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guildford)

The correspondence between the two Governments on the subject is not yet concluded, and it would therefore be premature yet to state its result.
