HC Deb 14 July 1920 vol 131 c2407W
Mr. KENYON

asked the Secretary of State for India what reasons were adduced by the Governments of France, Italy, and the United States to show that the differential export duties on raw hides and skins exported from India should not be imposed?

Mr. MONTAGU

The representations of the Governments mentioned were received after the duties had been imposed. They dwelt mainly on the harm likely to result from the duties to the industries of France, Italy, and the United States and to the users of leather in those countries.
