HC Deb 17 December 1929 vol 233 c1195
57. Mr. MANDER

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what extra staff has been appointed at the various ports and elsewhere since the introduction of Safeguarding and other protective duties for the purpose of dealing with goods affected by these duties; and what is the annual cost involved?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The information asked for by the hon. Member cannot be supplied as it is not possible to separate the fluctuations in staff occasioned by the operations of particular duties.
