HC Deb 18 May 1933 vol 278 cc509-10
32. Brigadier-General NATION

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he has received any recommendations from the Import Duties Advisory Committee as a result of representations made to them before 12th May by the Timber Trades Federation and the saw- milling industry generally in regard to duties on imported timber?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Certain recommendations have been received from the committee in regard to various wood goods; but I am unable to say whether these relate to the particular applications which my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind. I suggest that he should await the publication of the committee's recommendations.
