HC Deb 04 November 1919 vol 120 c1316
62. Mr. BUTLER LLOYD

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the question of imposing an import duty on foreign flour and also an export duty on feeding-stuffs, with the object of inducing the foreigner to send us wheat instead of flour, and thereby enable farmers in this country to secure a larger supply of millers' offal?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. The Government are not prepared to adopt this suggestion.
