Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amount the Safeguarding of Industries Act has brought in in the last three months, and whether it has required a large increase of the customs staff?

Mr. YOUNG

The net amount of duty received under the Safeguarding of Industries Act during the period in question was£73,200. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given to the hon. Member for Dunfermline (Mr. Wallace) on the 20th ultimo.
