HC Deb 19 June 1934 vol 291 c186
21. Mr. HALES

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many motor vehicles were imported into Great Britain from the United States during the year 1933; how many British motor vehicles were exported to the United States during the same period; and what was their value?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

As the answer involves a tabular statement, I will circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPOT.

Following is the statement:

apply uniform rates in future to all imports of such goods.

Mr. HALES

Are we to understand that this spontaneous gesture of good will is without any corresponding advantage to the United States on goods we import from them, and is not this entirely in opposition to their usual fiscal policy?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would rather not express any opinion on the fiscal policy of the United States.
