HC Deb 18 July 1927 vol 209 cc28-9
60. Mr. HARRIS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the revenue derived during the last financial year from safeguarding duties from lace, gas mantles, cutlery, gloves and other safeguarding duties, respectively?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill)

The net revenue derived from the several safeguarding duties during 1926–27 was as follows:

£
Lace and embroidery 220,537
Mantles for incandescent lighting 11,031
Cutlery 76,775
Gloves 608,441
Packing or Wrapping Paper 494,851
Key Industry Goods 505,323
Total 1,916,958

Mr. HARRIS

Does the right hon. Gentleman regard key industries as coming under the category of safeguarding duties?

Mr. McNEILL

I think that is so; it says so in the Act.
