§ Mr. HARBORDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware of the duty of 20s. per barrel which the Polish Government have imposed upon all herrings which may in future be landed at the port of Danzig and destined for Poland; and will he make representations against this duty with a view to securing its removal, having regard to the serious conditions now existing in the herring industry?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The imposition of the duty referred to is a matter of the internal fiscal administration in Poland, in regard to which the British Government cannot properly interfere.
