HC Deb 17 August 1909 vol 9 cc1084-5
Sir GILBERT PARKER

asked whether the Government will consider the advisability of placing a high export tax on old horses sold in foreign countries?

Sir E. STRACHEY

If the hon. Member can show that any considerable revenue would accrue from the adoption of his proposal, perhaps he will bring it to the notice of my right hon.

Sir G. PARKER

Will the hon. Gentleman secure for me the figures of exportation if I ask for them?

Sir E. STRACHEY
