§ MR. ALFRED HUTTONTo ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he could grant a Return showing since 1880 the average price of the chief articles of food and the tariff duties upon them in Germany and other European countries.
(Answered by Mr. Bonar Law.) It would not be practicable to give the Return quite in the form desired by the hon. Member, but I should be prepared to lay a Return, giving such official information as is available as to the wholesale prices of food in the principal European countries, and to add wheat, etc., to the next issue of the Foreign Import Duties Return, which will be published in the autumn.
