HL Deb 26 March 1830 vol 23 c919
The Earl of Malmesbury

, from Manufacturers of Flour in and near London, praying for better protection against the importation of Foreign Flour. They stated that flour might now be introduced at a much lower rate of duty than foreign corn, and they prayed an alteration of the law in that respect. The noble Earl adverted to a petition presented from Millers on a former occasion, and recently repeated in another place, praying to be allowed to grind foreign wheat in bond for exportation, and hoped that the Government would not permit such an experiment again to be tried, as it would open the door to great frauds.
