§ 21. Mr. FOOTasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that, though on the 6th of April last aluminium sulphocyanide, barium sulphocyanide, and copper sulphocyanide were stated to be deleted from the list of articles scheduled as liable to duty under the Safeguarding of Industries Act, potassium sulphocyanide and sodium sulphocyanide are still retained in the list of scheduled products; and, if so, can he say for what reason the latter two have not been removed from the list and from liability to duty on importation?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEThe items aluminium sulphocyanide, barium sulphocyanide and copper sulphocyanide were removed from the lists because certain observations made by the referee in his decision in the cream of tartar case indicated that he would probably regard 1162 the three chemicals in question as heavy chemicals. These observations do not apply to potassium sulphocyanide and sodium sulphocyanide, and accordingly the lists were not amended in respect of these two substances.
