HC Deb 11 May 1931 vol 252 c791
3. Sir G. HURST

asked the Secretary of State for India if he will obtain and publish a report upon the effect, down to the present date, of the last increase in the Indian tariff on British cotton goods upon the importation of such goods into India?

Mr. BENN

Apart from the fact that a very short period has intervened since the Indian tariff on cotton goods was last increased, I doubt whether it would be possible to disentangle the effect of the tariff from other disturbing causes.
