HC Deb 13 May 1908 vol 188 c1133
MR. HAROLD COX

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give the House any information with regard to the reductions about to be made in the Danish tariff; and whether he will issue a Memorandum comparing the duties levied on important articles of British manufacture by Denmark under the new tariff with the duties levied upon British goods of the same class by Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Dundee

A copy of the new Danish tariff has just been received and it is hoped to issue a translation of it, comparing the new and former duties, very shortly. As the main portions of the other tariffs mentioned have already been published in the Colonial Import Duties Return (Cd. 3708 of 1907), my hon. friend will be able to make for himself the comparison which he suggests, without the aid of an official Memorandum.
