HC Deb 27 July 1933 vol 280 c2779
79. Captain SPENCER

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he is aware that by a Report, dated 26th January, 1933, the Australian Tariff Board recommended to the Government of that Dominion certain duties, involving a preference to this country, on plain sheet glass; and why the Order of the Australian Government, dated 23rd September, 1932, prohibiting the importation of sheet glass has not been withdrawn?

The SECRETARY of STATE for DOMINION AFFAIRS (Mr. J. H. Thomas)

The matter forms the subject of communication with His Majesty's Government in the Commonwealth of Australia, and I am not in a position to make any further statement at present.

Mr. C. WILLIAMS

Is the right hon. Gentleman likely to visit Australia soon?
