HC Deb 09 May 1929 vol 227 c2336W
Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with regard to the duty on packing and wrapping papers, any consideration has been given to the proposal to amend the Section of the Finance Act which imposes the duty by the addition of a condition that, for the purpose of calculation by the Customs of the one-sixth-proportion, any non-dutiable paper which would be dutiable if within the prescribed weight limits should not be included in the calculation?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Representations in the sense indicated by my hon. Friend have been made to me and are under consideration, but I am unable to make any statement on the matter at present.
