§ 8. Sir J. D. REESasked whether last sear many tons of manufactured sweets and chocolates were imported from Switzerland and America; and, if so, whether, instead thereof, sugar can in future be imported in such space as may be available in order that the threatened British trade in sweets and confectionery may be saved from extinction?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe quantity of manufactured sweets and chocolates imported from Switzerland and America last year was inconsiderable. In so far as American exports are concerned it is certainly worth considering whether sugar can be brought over in place of manufactured sweets.
