HC Deb 21 April 1936 vol 311 c56
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I propose, also, to raise the duty on tea by 2d. a pound. That increase in the tea duty, which will operate as from tomorrow, will apply both to Empire and to foreign tea, thus preserving the existing preferential margin of 2d. a pound. I anticipate that the increased duty will give me this year £3, 500,000.
