HC Deb 22 July 1929 vol 230 c927W
Mr. SMITHERS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of the Government to make any alteration in the existing law which extends the duty on hops for a further period of four years from 16th August, 1929, as laid down in the Finance Act, 1929?

Mr. P. SNOWDEN

The case of the Hops Duty is analogous to the Safeguarding Duties which were imposed for a specified number of years and is covered by the statement I made on 9th July in the Debate on the Address.
