HC Deb 06 December 1932 vol 272 cc1413-4
12. Mr. H. WILLIAMS

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he hopes to publish a White Paper showing the details of the increased preference accorded to United Kingdom goods in Empire countries as a consequence of the Ottawa Agreements?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

The concessions secured for United Kingdom goods under the Ottawa Agreements are set out in Command Paper 4174. The details of the changes made from time to time in the tariffs of Overseas Empire countries in order to give effect to the Agreements are published in the Board of Trade Journal as they are made. In these circumstances my right hon. Friend does not as at present advised contemplate the issue of a White Paper.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Can my hon. and gallant Friend say when full details of the Australian changes will be available?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

Not without notice.
