HC Deb 14 February 1933 vol 274 c829W
Mr. HOLDSWORTH

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether any alterations in the tariffs of the Dominions have been made for the advantage of the trade of the United Kingdom since the Ottawa Conference other than those scheduled in the Ottawa Agreements?

Mr. THOMAS

Yes, Sir. Reductions in the duties levied in the Commonwealth of Australia on certain United Kingdom goods which were not covered by the Agreement made at Ottawa between the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, were made in September last. I should add that, as I pointed out yesterday, the Canadian Tariff Board has only recently been constituted.
