§ 24. Mr. Priorasked the President of the Board of Trade what representations have been made to him by the printing industry in connection with the remissions of import duty paid on Koenig and Bauer Condor flatbed letterpress machines; and what reply he has sent.
§ Mr. RedheadAssociations representing the printing industry made representations last year to the Board of Trade in support of duty remission for the machines concerned. The Board explained that before remission of duty could be recommended it was necessary to establish that similar machinery was not for the time being procurable in the United Kingdom, and therefore entitled to the protection of the tariff.
