HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 cc1231-2W
Mr. MACKINDER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of a case in which an import duty of £28 18s. l0d. has been charged on a silk-covered sofa costing £89, the value of the silk cover of which was only £23; and on what basis so high a rate of duty has been charged?

Mr. CHURCHILL

If the hon. Member will furnish me with sufficient particulars to enable this case to be identified I will endeavour to answer his question.
