HC Deb 18 April 1910 vol 16 c1849W
EARL of RONALDSHAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether India and all the self-governing British Colonies signified their adhesion to the Brussels Sugar Convention of 1902 under the provisions contained in the final protocol for that purpose, and to the additional Act of 1907?

Sir E. GREY

No, Sir; neither India nor any of the self-governing Dominions have done so.

EARL of RONALDSHAY

further asked whether the Indian Government is precluded from granting a tariff preference on sugar to the United Kingdom or other British Colonies and Possessions under any of the provisions of the Brussels Sugar Convention of 1902 or the additional Act of 1907; and, if so, under which provisions?

Sir E. GREY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative.
