§ 41. Mr. STEWARTasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can see his way to have the prohibition against the import of Canadian-canned salmon so relaxed as to give the relatively small amount of salmon canned in British Columbia the benefit of a free entry into Great Britain, in view of the fact that the pre-war import of such salmon amounted only to one-fifth of the total import from the North American Continent and that the remaining four-fifths, chiefly the product of Alaska, have a free entry into the United States, whereas there is a high Import Duty charged on all British Columbian salmon entering that market?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Long)I am glad to be able to inform my hon. Friend that it has been found possible to make an arrangement of the nature indicated in the reply returned to his previous question on the subject by the Secretary to the Board of Trade on the 21st instant.
