HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 c498
Mr. MITCHELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had yet succeeded in obtaining the most-favoured-nation treatment for petrol, the product of British India, when imported into France?

Sir EDWARD GREY

The French Government have stated that they axe unable to apply the minimum tariff to-petroleum imported from British India unless the Indian Government are prepared to reduce the import duties on French wines, silks, and silk goods. The Indian Government are unable to make this concession.
