HC Deb 04 December 1922 vol 159 cc1253-4W
Sir A. MARSHALL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any Report has yet been received from the Committer which investigated the application for a duty of 33⅓ per cent, on scientific instruments under Part II of the Safeguarding of Industries Act, in addition to the duty of the same amount already imposed under Part I of the same Act; and, if so, what is the nature of the Report and what action is contemplated under it?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The Report is under consideration, and I hope to make an announcement at an early date.
