HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 c280W
Sir C. CAYZER

asked the President of the Board of Trade the approximate cash value, based on last year's trade returns, of all the preferences given by the Dominions to British-manufactured goods?

Mr. WEBB

The approximate difference, based on last year's trade returns, between the Preferential Duties on the produce and manufactures of Great Britain, and the duties on similar goods of foreign origin, charged by Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, is nearly £12,000,000.
