§ Mr. GUINEYasked the President of the I Board of Trade whether the Government are subsidising Dutch butter manufacturers and, if so, to what amount per hundredweight; whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists amongst Irish butter producers who believe that their contributions in taxes to the British Exchequer are employed to subsidise Dutch trade opponents; and whether he can give an assurance that these subsidies, if existent, will be discontinued?
§ Lord R. CECILI would refer the hon. Member to the reply returned to the hon. Member for West Cavan on the 12th July.
