HC Deb 10 December 1931 vol 260 c2094W
Mr. ALBERY

asked the Secretary for Mines if he has considered the effect on employment in oil-refining industries of affording relief from excise duty to hydrocarbon oils refined in this country; and whether he will recommend this course?

Mr. ISAAC FOOT

I can assure the hon. Member that every proposal or suggestion which has a bearing on employment is receiving the earnest consideration of His Majesty's Government.
