§ 36. Mr. RANKINasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the imposition of a leaving tax upon the sea-fares of British and other subjects returning home from abroad; and whether, in view of the burden that such taxes place on foreign intercourse and travel, he proposes to take any steps to urge the abolition thereof?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANIf my hon. Friend will indicate more precisely the taxes to which he refers and the countries in which they are imposed I shall be glad to look into the matter.
