HC Deb 28 November 1922 vol 159 c527W
Mr. A. T. DAVIES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been directed to the duty imposed on British motor cars by the Government of India to the detriment of that industry; and whether representations have been or will be made to the Indian authorities with a view to some relief from such duty?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

I have received representations on this subject, and His Majesty's Senior Trade Commissioner in India has been in communication with the India Department of Commerce. The Government of India have not seen their way to modify the duty, but they are watching its effect very carefully.
