§ 55. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total value of the goods subject to duties under the Safeguarding of Industries Act and the McKenna Duties imported during the first five months of 1927?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe total declared value of the goods subject to safeguarding duties under the Safeguarding of Industries Act, 1921, and subsequent enactments, imported during the first five months of 1927 was £3,900,252, and the total declared value of the goods subject to McKenna Duties imported during the same period was £5,690,427.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDoes not this show that there is not much protection to British manufacturers in these trades?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe hon. and gallant Member can, of course, draw his own inference.
