HC Deb 22 July 1903 vol 125 c1443
MR. LAMBERT (Devonshire, South Molton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he proposes to place, in addition to duties on foreign corn, taxes on foreign beef, mutton, wool, butter, and cheese for the carrying out of his proposals to give colonial goods a preference in the home market.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. J. CHAMBERLAIN,) Birmingham, W.

I think the Question is a little irregular. The hon. Member is really asking me, not about any action of the Government, but my personal opinion. In regard to that, I have nothing to add to what I have already said.
