HC Deb 23 November 1925 vol 188 cc906-7
56. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Prime Minister if, in order to prevent dumping, he will introduce legislation for the automatic imposition of a duty on any goods which form the subject of inquiry by a Commission set up under the Safeguarding of Industries procedure, such duty to be levied from the date of the public announcement that such an inquiry is to be held, with the proviso that if the Committee's Report is adverse the temporary duty would be refunded?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have noted my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion, and I would refer him to the reply which I gave on Wednesday last in answer to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford (Sir F. Wise).

Colonel DAY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Post Office now levy 6d. on all parcels coming in here for examination?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question on the Paper.
