HC Deb 04 March 1924 vol 170 c1216W
Sir F. WISE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which countries exempt from taxation the earnings of shipping belonging to those countries which extend a similar exemption to the earnings of shipping owned in Great Britain?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I have some difficulty in understanding precisely what information the hon. Member desires, but if I am correct in assuming that he is referring to the arrangements which may be made under Section 18 of the Finance Act, 1923, I may explain that, while negotiations are proceeding with various foreign countries, no arrangements have yet been finally concluded.
