§ SIR WILLIAM HOLLAND (Yorkshire, W.R., Rotherham)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will take into consideration the question of repealing the Excise duties on the production of Indian cotton mills, together with the corresponding import duties, as soon as the state of the Indian Exchequer will warrant his doing so.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) I cannot hold out any hope at present of reducing the Customs duties now in force in India.
