HC Deb 17 January 1924 vol 169 c281W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will issue a comparative statement showing the port dues charged by other maritime nations on British shipping and the dues charged by British ports on the shipping of those various foreign countries?

Viscount WOLMER

I am afraid that the issue of an official statement such as my hon. Friend asks for would involve greater cost and labour than could be justified. Full information, I understand, is given in works of reference issued by private publishers, and I am sending my hon. Friend the name of one of these works.
