§ Sir H. CROFTasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the average rate of import duty in the United States on fully-manufactured goods imported from Great Britain?
§ Sir B. CHADWICKI am afraid that it is not possible to give a satisfactory figure which will adequately represent the average effect of the whole tariff. My hon. and gallant Friend will, however, find on pages 542–5 of the volume entitled "Survey of Overseas Markets" some notes on the relativead valorem incidence of Customs Tariffs (including that of the United States) on British goods in 1914 and 1924, based on an examination of the tariffs applied to certain selected staple British goods.
