HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 c982
47. Mr. BURNETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether an early decision may be expected upon the recommendation of the advisory committee to the Government with regard to a drawback upon the re-export of salted fish, in view of the arrival of the buying season

The FINANCIAL. SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

I regret that I can add nothing to the official statement which appeared in the Press on the 23rd February.

Mr. BURNETT

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the export fish curers are at present without stocks, and, unless a decision can be reached at an early date, they will be unable to compete in the South American markets?
