§ 39. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the effect upon the profits of British strawberry growers of the removal of the tariff on imported straw berries at the end of June last year, he proposes to take any steps in respect of this season to ensure that the tariffs are maintained for a sufficient period to remove damaging competition from foreign sources?
§ Major ELLIOTI would remind my hon. and gallant Friend that the Additional Import Duties (No. 5) Order, 1932, which is at present operative, provides that a duty of 3d. per lb. shall be chargeable on imported foreign strawberries between 1st April and 31st July.
