HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 c1525
92. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether His Majesty's Government proposes to impose a duty on foreign tea imported into the United Kingdom equal in amount to the duty imposed on tea exported from India?

Mr. McKENNA

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. LOUGH

Will a rebate of the tax be given on tea grown within the Empire?

Mr. McKENNA

That is clearly a subject for debate on the Finance Bill.
