82. Mr. GODFREY LOCKERLAMPSON (for Sir AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN)asked the President of the Board of Trade whether His Majesty's Government will make the abolition of 464 bounties on export a condition of their assent to any proposals for the fixation of tariffs emanating from the League Economic Conference?
§ Mr. GILLETTHis Majesty's Government, during the forthcoming discussions, will bear in mind all relevant considerations, but at this stage they could not give a pledge on specific points.
§ Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWNWill the hon. Member take notice of the effect of this bounty-fed corn in this country, and will he deal with it somewhat on the lines suggested in the question?
§ Mr. GILLETTAll these points will be borne in mind, but my right hon. Friend cannot make any promise at the present time.
Brigadier-General BROWNHave not the Board of Trade already promised to take this question up at the Economic Conference of the League? Will he remember that?
§ Mr. GILLETTI misunderstood the hon. Member. That promise has been carried out. The matter has been mentioned already.
