HC Deb 09 June 1936 vol 313 c20
34. Sir PATRICK HANNON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that samples of Coronation goods are being received by agents for such goods in Canada; and whether he will approach the Canadian Government with a view to negotiating a temporary increase in duty on such foreign articles, in order that British manufacturers may have a fair opportunity of supplying the Canadian market?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I would remind my hon. Friend that United Kingdom manufacturers of these goods in general already enjoy tariff preferences in Canada.
