10. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether at the end of this year the following ports in Italy will be free from import duties: Savona, Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Brindisi, Bari, Ancona, Venice, Trieste, Fiume, Palermo, Messina, Catania and Cagliari?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

I have seen a newspaper report of the decision of the Italian Government to establish free port areas in a number of Italian ports. I have no official information on the subject, but I will have inquiry made.
