HC Deb 06 December 1932 vol 272 c1405
3. Mr. MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, as a consequence of the Ottawa Agreements, the Australian Government proposes to remove the premium of 20 per cent. in favour of Australian-made goods at present imposed when government purchases are made?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the DOMINIONS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

The United Kingdom-Australian Trade Agreement contains no provision relating to this matter.

Mr. MANDER

Can my right hon. Friend say whether this specific point was actually considered during the negotiations at Ottawa?

Mr. THOMAS

No.
