§ 52. Captain STRICKLANDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet any further statement to make with regard to the resumption of the consideration by the tariffs advisory committee of the question of the silk and artificial silk duties?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI regret that I have not at present anything to add to the reply which was given to the hon. Member for Leicester East (Mr. Lyons) on 11th April on this subject.
§ Captain STRICKLANDWould the right hon. Gentleman indicate what is holding up the matter?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINSome final discussions are taking place, but I do not think it will be long before I am able to make a further statement.
