HC Deb 03 August 1926 vol 198 cc2780-1
7. Mr. RAMSDEN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, since the Imperial Economic Conference of 1923, there has been any Empire consultation on the question of discrimination of foreign countries against the British flag?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE LISTER

Individual cases member have been dealt with, as they arose, with the Dominion Government concerned, but there has been no consultation of a general nature since the Imperial Conference of 1923.

Mr. RAMSDEN

Will this question be discussed at the Imperial Conference?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-L1STER

I think certain proposals will be put forward.

Commander BELLAIRS

Has there been any representation to the United States concerning the special discrimination of the tonnage tax against British shipping industry?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I should want notice of that question.

Forward to
