HC Deb 10 December 1931 vol 260 c2030
46. Mr. COCKS

asked the Prime Minister whether he intends to set up a permanent non-political commission to examine the question of tariffs?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Ramsay MacDonald)

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on Monday last in reply to questions by my hon. and gallant Friends the Members for Wycombe and the Isle of Wight.

Mr. COCKS

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that that referred to another Commission, to draw up a scientific tariff? This is to examine the question of tariffs.

The PRIME MINISTER

My answer was a general one.
