HC Deb 17 February 1927 vol 202 c1104
56. Mr. DEAN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in order to assist an agricultural industry, and in view of the amount of labour employed therein, he will consider the advisability of placing a duty on imported flower bulbs?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.

Mr. HARRIS

Are the Government going to put flower bulbs under the Merchandise Marks Act?

Mr. DEAN

If the right hon. Gentleman cannot do what we ask with regard to the root of the matter, will he give us what we ask for on the flowers?

Mr. SPEAKER

That deals with a hypothesis.
