§ SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state the yield of the shilling registration fee on foreign corn, meal, and flour entering the United Kingdom in the last fiscal year; and, if the remission of the duty proposed in the Budget extends to flour, or only applies to the raw material for the manufacture of flour.
(Answered by Mr. Ritchie.) The duty imposed on imported grain, flour, etc., by The Finance Act, 1902, yielded £2,346,796 during the financial year 1902–3. The remission of duty recently proposed applies to all goods named in the First Schedule to the Act quoted.
