§ 30. Captain WEDGWOOD BENNasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Board of Trade has any information showing that the French customs duties are to be raised?
Mr. SAMUELThe French Committee of Experts, which has recently considered French finances, has recommended a substantial increase of the existing tariff. The terms of the recommendation appear on page 70 of the Board of Trade Journal for 18th July, a copy of which I will send to the hon. and gallant Gentleman.
Mr. GUINNESSWe have no reason to think that the Wages Board are not carrying out their duties under the Act.
