HC Deb 25 November 1931 vol 260 c382
54. Mr. J. JONES

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make provision for the circulation to Members of a copy of each order issued under the Abnormal Importations (Customs Duties) Act; and if he will arrange for the issue with each Order of an explanatory memorandum giving details of the abnormal importations which warrant the imposition of such duty as may be imposed?

40. Mr. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he intends to publish a White Paper periodically showing the various imported articles and the amount of duties to be imposed?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Copies of the Abnormal Importations Orders will be available at the Vote Office. My right hon. Friend has already undertaken to circulate a statement giving information in regard to the importations covered by the Order of the 20th November.

Mr. JONES

Can the hon. Gentleman say when we are to have this information provided?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The House has already been informed that in the course of this week some further figures will be provided.
