§ 7. Mr. CHARLES WILLIAMSasked the President of the Board of Trade the result of his further inquiries with regard to the question of the Italian import duty on pilchards from this country?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMI came to the conclusion that no useful purpose would be served by approaching the Italian Government on the subject at the time of the hon. Member's previous question. The matter has not been overlooked, however, and I will take advantage of any favourable opportunity to have the question raised with the Italian Government.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the very great importance of this question to a great Cornish industry?
§ Mr. GRAHAMYes, Sir; that question has been before me previously, and I can only renew my promise to my hon. Friend to take this chance whenever I think it is right to approach the Italian Government.
