§ 104. Mr. GILHOOLYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will request the British Ambassador at Washington to use his good offices with the American Government with a view to have the tariff on Irish salt mackerel abated or, at least, reduced?
Mr. ROBERTSONMy right hon. Friend is afraid that he has nothing to add to what he stated in reply to previous similar questions. The matter is not being lost sight of, in case a favourable opportunity should arise for obtaining a reduction in the duty on mackerel.
