HC Deb 28 March 1928 vol 215 c1145
45. Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Prime Minister, arising out of the Report of the International Economic Conference of the League of Nations, whether His Majesty's Government would be willing to take concerted action with a view to promoting a tariff holiday for a period of years among European and other States?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

The question of what concerted action can usefully be taken to give effect to the resolutions of the Conference is now engaging the attention of the Economic Committee of the League. I propose to await the result of their deliberations.

Sir JOSEPH NALL

Is my right hon. Friend aware that, whilst this country is waiting for action to be taken, other countries are constantly raising their tariffs against our exports to them?
