HC Deb 16 June 1925 vol 185 cc310-1W
Mr. SHEPPERSON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that there are large quantities of foreign hops at present in this country under control or in bond; and will he take steps to make the new duties applicable to these before their release?

Mr. CHURCHILL

A considerable quantity of imported hops is in this country under the control of the Hop Controller. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
