HC Deb 16 May 1933 vol 278 c197
47. Mrs. COPELAND

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer from what bodies representing the glass and pottery industries he has received any representations with reference to the effect of the proposed tax on heavy oils; and what answer he has given?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

With regard to the first part of the question, while I have received representations from individuals concerned in the pottery industry I have not received any representations from any organisation on behalf of the industry as a whole. Representations in regard to the glass industry have been received from the Glass Manufacturers' Federation, the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the National Union of Manufacturers. With regard to the second part, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave on the 11th May to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Barkston Ash (Colonel Ropner) and others.

Forward to
