HC Deb 21 July 1903 vol 125 c1319
MR. BLACK

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, in view of the fact that the Government has now intimated to Germany that in certain events it will impose retaliatory or differential duties on importations into this country, whether the Government has determined that amongst these duties shall be a duty on food-stuffs, or whether it has determined that there shall be no such duty.

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

I have no information to give the hon. Gentleman on the subject of this Question.

MR. BLACK

Is the right hon. Gentleman still halting between two opinions?

[No answer was returned.]
