§ 50. Mr. MacKENZIE LIVINGSTONEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether users of oxalic acid still have to pay an import duty, although this commodity is no longer manufactured in this country?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKDuty is chargeable on all oxalic acid imported into this country when not of Empire origin. The manufacture of that commodity in this country has been in suspense for some time, but I understand that preparations are now being made for its production here by a new process.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDo we understand that the duty on this acid has had no effect on manufacture in this country at all?
