HC Deb 09 December 1953 vol 521 c231W
67. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether he will relax import duties on new machinery and raw materials going into the West Indies, in order to encourage industrial development.

Mr. Littleton

It is for the West Indian Governments to decide on changes in import duties. Certain Customs concessions are among those granted to new industries under their "pioneer industries laws."
