HC Deb 10 February 1926 vol 191 c1028
46. Sir FREDRIC WISE

asked the Prime Minister if he will introduce in the present Session legislation so that the imposition of any duties should have immediate effect and prevent dumping in the interval?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

When the time comes it will be found that we have not overlooked this important matter.

Mr. REMER

Has the Prime Minister's attention been called to the serious damage to industry caused through the dumping of silk goods before the Silk Duties were imposed, and the serious unemployment which has been caused thereby?

Captain BENN

Does the Prime Minister mean that the policy of the Government is to impose tariffs retrospectively?

The PRIME MINISTER

I mean nothing but what I say in the answer.
