§ 57. Major Dorman-Smithasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any decision has been taken on the recommendations regarding the applications for increased duties submitted to the Import Duties Advisory Committee in respect to eggs not in shell and table poultry?
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Lieut.-Colonel Colville)I think that my hon. Friend will appreciate that it would not be in the public interest to answer questions of this nature, since the answer would tend to give information which might lead to forestalling.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Acland-TroyteDoes my hon. and gallant Friend realise that it is quite useless for the Import Duties Advisory Committee to report as long as the President of the Board of Trade refuses to denounce certain trade agreements?
§ Lieut.-Colonel ColvilleThis deals with the question of eggs not in shell.
