HC Deb 26 October 1932 vol 269 c964
59. Mr. DENMAN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is intended this year to include the Dyestuffs Act in the Expiring Laws (Continuance) Bill?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)

I hope to be in a position to make a statement on this matter shortly.

Mr. DENMAN

Does the hon. Gentleman realise the hardship of the colour users in having a customs duty imposed on them on top of the Dyestuffs Act?

Dr. BURGIN

When I said shortly it means reasonably quickly, but not immediately.

Mr. RHYS DAVIES

Can the hon. Gentleman say when the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill is likely to be produced, whether in this Session or the new Session?
