§ 65. Mr. TOUCHEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make representations to the Import Duties Advisory Committee as to the desirability of an early consideration of the request of the country millers for an increased duty to be placed on foreign-milled flour imported into this country, in view of the fact that the proposed duty of 2s. per quarter on foreign wheat will make the import duties on foreign wheat and flour similar in incidence and thereby nullify the existing advantage received by the home millers from the present 10 per cent. ad valorem duty?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINAs I have indicated on previous occasions, it is for the particular industry itself to lay its case fully before the Advisory Committee, and in considering the millers' application the Committee are of course in a position to take account of submissions such as the one mentioned by my hon. Friend.
