§ 46. Sir PERCY HURDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is now in a position to state what action he proposes to take on the Report of the Import Duties Advisory Committee, on the application recently made by the National Farmers' Union to the Committee for an adjustment of the duty on certain imported flowers, particularly tulips, in view of the adequacy of home supplies, the losses sustained by home growers owing to the volume of imports, and of the adverse effect of imports of flowers upon the trade in bulbs between Holland and the United Kingdom?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which was given on the 22nd May last to the hon. Member for Derby, South (Mr. Emrys-Evans), of which I am sending him a copy.
§ Sir P. HURDCan my right hon. Friend say if the position is exactly the same to-day as it was then?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am not sure what my hon. Friend means by "the position," but the answer is the same as it was then.
