HC Deb 26 November 1925 vol 188 c1629W
Captain P. MacDONALD

asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether there has been any increase in the price of articles of silk since 1st July; and, if so, on what articles?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

There are no general market prices for silks, and the variety of silk goods is such that it would not be possible to give a precise reply without considerable investigation. I think it may be said, however, in general terms that there has not been any material upward movement.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how much money, approximately, has been collected to date in taxes and duties on silk and artificial silk; and how much of this is due, approximately, to be returned as rebate?

Mr. McNEILL

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for Cardigan (Mr. Morris) on the 19th November.
