§ Major PROCTERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what has been the approximate revenue received by way of customs duties charged on oranges imported into this country from Palestine since duties were first imposed thereon in 1931?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISONI regret that the information asked for by my hon. and gallant Friend is not available.
§ Major PROCTERasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in view of the desirability of increasing reciprocal trade between this country and Palestine, and the attention which will be focussed upon this matter during the currency of the forthcoming trade fair in Palestine, he will consider the desirability of making representations to the League of Nations to enable preferential treatment to be given by Palestine to the imports of those countries, such as Great Britain, who purchase most from her?
Mr. THOMASI share the hon. and gallant Member's desire to increase the trade between Palestine and this country, but I do not think that action on the lines suggested could usefully be taken.
