HC Deb 13 May 1935 vol 301 cc1358-9
32. Captain DOWER

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now in a position to state what is the result of his representations with regard to the increased duty on British flycatchers imported from this country into Finland; and what further action he intends to take in the matter?

Lieut.-Colonel J. COLVILLE (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I am awaiting a report from His Majesty's Minister at Helsingfors.

Captain DOWER

Will my hon. and gallant Friend bear in mind the urgency of the matter, owing to the seasonal nature of the trade?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

The urgency of the matter is being borne in mind.
