§ 76. Colonel GRETTONasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs if he is aware that the Government of the Irish Free State proposes to impose a duty upon all woollen piece goods imported into the Free State; if he has considered the effect of such a tax upon woollen manufactures in the United Kingdom and upon Northern Ireland; and if any communications have taken place or any representations been made to the Government of the Irish Free State with a view to obtaining preference for British goods?
§ Mr. AMERYI have no information as to the intentions of the Free State Government in this matter, and the second 432 part of the question does not therefore arise. The reply to the third part is in the negative, but I would remind my hon. and gallant Friend that a preference is already granted on certain classes of British goods imported into the Free State.
