§ Mr. BARKERasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies what tariffs are imposed by the Dominions of Australia and New Zealand on British exports to those Dominions; what is the amount per cent. preference given to British goods over those exported by foreign countries to those Dominions; and will these questions be discussed at the forthcoming conference with the representatives of the Dominions referred to?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREFull particulars of the Customs Tariffs of Australia and New Zealand were published as Supplements to the issues of the "Board of1946W Trade Journal" for the 22nd April, 1920, and the 9th February, 1922, respectively. Since then several of the duties in these tariffs have been amended, and particulars of these charges have also been published in the journal. As regards the second part of the question, I am sending the hon. Member a statement. As to the third part, I would remind him of the announcement already made that the question of preference will be included among the subjects to be discussed at the forthcoming Imperial Economic Conference.
