HC Deb 18 February 1932 vol 261 c1821
67. Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOX

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether foreign firms establishing factories in Great Britain in order to produce inside the British tariff will be permitted to import their machinery free of duty provided that machinery has been already in use in their factories abroad?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

If my hon. and gallant Friend refers to machinery of foreign origin there is no provision in the Import Duties Bill which would permit it to be admitted free of duty in the circumstances described.
